The inimitable Matt Taibbi: R.I.P. GOP

[bjo59]

4. The Andrew Sullivan article that Taibbi refers to,

"Democracies End When There is too Much Democracy," harks back to the 1973 Trilateral Commission Report (written in support of multinational corporate interests) which stated that "too much democracy" leads to "democratic distemper." Sullivan suggests that Trump is the "inevitable product of too much democracy" but one can imagine that, behind closed doors, this is the attitude of the Democratic Party's elite as well... something along the lines, of course, that Bernie Sanders is the inevitable product of too much democracy. Corporate interests are diametrically opposed to democracy and political candidates who take huge sums of money from mega corporations and banks must always, as a result, work against democracy. People who support Bernie Sanders know this very, very well.
