The article discusses the feeling of powerlessness among Americans under political leadership that prioritizes strongman tactics and undermines democratic values. It highlights the struggles of the Democratic Party to effectively counter these tactics, as they appear disconnected from the electorate's needs and concerns. Strategic approaches being considered by Democrats fall short of addressing the crisis at hand, raising questions about their effectiveness and credibility amidst a political landscape dominated by extremism and polarization.
You are meant to feel powerless. That is what a strongman wants: to make you feel as if nothing can stop the takeover of your country.
