But it's not really a single man. For Trump to get in that room with that power and that idea, many people must support it.
Yes there's a "press the red button guy" but without that it's impossible to get anything done.
Ross has been pardoned by the will of the people, in a complex series of events that lead to a single final moment. But we can't negate what did support that moment.
We can certainly say that there is a consensus structure behind the person elected, but the final decision I do not think is affected proportionally and “democratically” by the support base.
It seems to me more like a feedback loop designed ad hoc to set the stage for the next step.
This opens another long conversation.
Assuming we "agree" and "know" what democratic means and also that it's a good thing, the debate is: if it's not democratic (?) then the people don't count.
This means that billions of people in history, everywhere, never had a say on anything for millenia.
Which I obviously think is not the case.
There is support and consensus in all power structures, regardless how much "democratic" they are.
Leaderism is bad thinking :)
