Removing the figure
doesn’t remove the machinery.
Elections change the person at the centre. They do not automatically dismantle everything that carried them there.
THE STRUCTURE BENEATH THE FIGURE
What remains.
01THE PARTYThe organisation that embraced him.
02DARK MONEYThe funding that sustained him.
03ONLINE RADICALISATIONThe network that mobilised his army.
04AMPLIFIED RACISMThe grievance he reanimated.
THE WARNING
“He can stay, he can go. He can be impeached, or voted out in 2020. But removing Trump will not remove the infrastructure of an entire party that embraced him; the dark money that funded him; the online radicalization that drummed his army; nor the racism he amplified and reanimated.”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
