Democracy is an impossibility in a corrupt, polarized society like ours. All we have is bread and circuses -- nothing more, nothing less. Our government is 100% illegitimate, and has been for at least 100 years. Both parties lie and cheat whenever they think they can get away with it, as do the people who finance them.
Personally, I think Trump has a serious personality disorder and was/is unfit to be president, but I also think that holds true for most of the presidents we've had, including Joe Biden.
That said, when you consider that "our" elected officials have gifted themselves their own special healthcare and retirement programs, I fail to see how anyone in their right mind would be upset that ordinary citizens barged in on their private party in an effort to demand accountability, as that is about the only thing that would gain these cretins' attention.
And I wouldn't be surprised if Trump and Bannon were in on this charade, any more than I'd be surprised to find out that there are aliens among us. Because Reichstag fires are precisely what you'd expect to see in corrupt societies.
