The Real Beneficiaries of Donald Trump's Fake Populism @alternet: The 1 percent has strengthened its grip on power, and a shadowy 'deep state' won't save us. The prospect of four years of Donald J. Trump’s nonstop rants about imaginary conspiracies against his daughter, wholesale slander against the judicial branch and attacks on the press as enemies of the people has caused some Americans to slip into a comforting form of denial. He will be a blip in our history, they say, because our formal institutions, and the American people, will ultimately prevail against a rogue disruptor.
