The democratic institutions are broken, and the leaders are unwilling to put in fixes, and the electorate can't hold them to account without them

Preserving voting rights, reducing gerrymandering, and limiting the filibuster to be an infrequent tool have no real priority.

The old guard of bad 3 letter agencies have some insulation against that, making them the old evil instead of the new

> I remember when we progressives used to be against the 3 letter agencies and authority in general.

Neither the IPCC nor the UN are three letter agencies

Of course it will backfire. Progressives these days have no real values aside from extracting as much money as possible from governments and citizens without providing any value in return. Once this strategy stops working, they will turn on each other. Their loyalty to each other is fake, just like everything else in their lives.

Everything they say and do is founded on lies; that's why they depend so much on each other for support and reinforcement. It's a religion. The only way they can maintain their nonsensical ideologies is through repeated, mutual brainwashing.
