Indivisible:

Trump will now take office with a slim but real congressional majority. He has a packed, rightwing Supreme Court that has already ruled that a president can act with impunity as long as his actions are done under the guise of official business. In addition to a truly abhorrent social and economic policy agenda, Trump has promised an administration of retribution and to be a dictator “on day one.” 

Does losing this election mean the American experiment with representative democracy is over? In this chapter, we’ll try to address this central question. Our argument is this: the doomsaying wasn’t wrong, but our democracy is not dead, at least not yet. We believe democracy in America may not survive the Trump era, and we believe that whether it survives depends on what we do next.
