My Dear Friend of Democracy,
How can democracy survive if the majority of people vote for people like Donald Trump?
The answer is it can't. Not in the long run.
Democracy is made for democrats. It can't survive without them.
(Hopefully) Americans now have four years to realize what they will lose if they lose democracy. They may use this time to come to their senses. Perhaps, after Trump's term in office, they will still have the chance to remain in democracy. It is not certain. It might become more difficult in four years than just casting your vote at the ballot box.
I very much hope that democracy survives in the USA. For the people there. For people all over the world. And I think we have good reasons to be hopeful. There are so many smart people in the United States. People who know how things really are. Who know what is at stake. And there will be many more. The fight for democracy has only just begun.
See you in Democracy,
Johannes
