It didn't all happen in 2016. Fascists have been quietly diminishing the power of the electorate for decades now. We'll keep on having "the most important election of our lifetimes" until we manage to undo the damage. IF we manage to undo the damage.
If we manage to have any more non-sham elections.
The problem is fascists, but it is also compounded by neolib Democrats never reducing government authority either, but often even strengthening it, knowing full well that power can easily be seized by the extreme right at any time.
