Yeah. The way I've been thinking about it lately as like the "pigeon playing chess"... He just knocks over your pieces and declares victory. A confluence of factors has led us to a point where a scary number of people side with the pigeon. And that is how democracy is eroded.

I think the full analogy is something akin to "He'll knock over all the pieces, shit on the board, and strut around like he won." Which is quite the mental image and fits perfectly.

If you're not that good or interested in chess, the pigeon appears to be clearly winning.
