I’m not following the logic. He’s vile and absurd so let’s not give him attention; let’s give the underlying systems attention? Ok; but he’s a personification of a rather vague system (corporatocracy) that’s much easier to comprehend. It’s tough for the masses to shout about global capitalism and its failings (clearly) but Trump is tangible and wholly representative of these generational, multi-national lapses in judgement. Let the people point to him, to draw attention to the system. He’s an accessible entry point, and i’m ok with that.

We do, however, need to rethink our protest movement and get more creative in terms of expressing our anger.
