When Democracy Becomes a Spectacle
On June 16, 2015, a reality TV star descended a golden escalator to announce his presidential candidacy, and American democracy entered its most dangerous chapter yet. But this crisis didn't begin with Trump Tower-it started centuries earlier, in a nation born with a fatal contradiction: proclaiming equality while denying it to most of its people. Today, we're watching the culmination of a decades-long assault on democracy itself, orchestrated through ballot boxes and courtrooms rather than tanks and soldiers. The question isn't whether America can survive this moment-it's whether we understand how we got here. Because buried in our history is a deliberate distortion so profound that millions of Americans now believe defending hierarchy is defending tradition, that suppressing votes is protecting integrity, and that authoritarianism is patriotism.
