> why is replacing our institutions with less democratic ones the correct answer What do you mean replacing? What the Trump's base mostly wants is getting rid of federal bloat, and transferring power to local government (e.g. education). Very democratic, very decentralizing. Did Trump even create a single "institution" yet? "Democrats" screech "democracy needs saving" where what they really mean is "our oligarchic bureaucracy needs saving".
