I found this article soothes my fears

12. I'm afraid that past history isn't the guide anymore

I wish I could believe this version that the historic cycles are always the same, but this time everything broke down. The media and the polls are two great examples. In hindsight we can see that none of it was even close to the truth. The evidence that the media was broken is obvious. If Trump cleared his throat or belched they abandoned everything else they were covering to rush to see what he would do or say next. They're still doing it. We get to have constant breaking news telling us what Trump's latest tweet is.

Pundits don't know what they're talking about anymore because Trump doesn't fall into any past pattern. Even the loathsome pundits can't really defend Trump well because he doesn't clue then into what he's going to do or say next either. People like Kellyanne are in the terrible position of being played by Trump just as much as anyone else.

I hate to say it but the only similarities to any form of government that come up are those of dictators. This government by the Billionaire Club could very well be just a coup.

We might as well be governed by Wall Street now. Not the three branches of government.
