“The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The
occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion.
As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must
disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.”
Abraham Lincoln - December 1, 1862 Message to Congress

The fact that #Trump was eligible to run for #President came as quite a surprise to the rest of the world.
I think it's possible to have a healthy balance of democratic and technocratic government, that utilises all our collective skill and knowledge whilst still being overseen by and accountable to the people.
I think that #Lincoln's vision of government "of the people, by the people, for the people" is a noble one, and I take that as a working definition of democracy. But in the present day distortions exist that didn't and couldn't in Lincoln's day. We have to recognise that, and recognise that those three things are not necessarily the same or even immediately compatible, and to make a choice.

Joshua Mawhorter: "In Frank W. Taussig’s The Tariff History of the United States, he describes the mass of unprecedented financial legislation that took place, which likely would not have occurred absent the context of the war, "Probably no country has seen, in so short a time, so extraordinary a mass of financial legislation.
