I have shared this text about #PowerAsASourceOfLegitimacy before, but it went unnoticed back then, so I just do it again.
It is pretty much what is happening in the #USA. The #Trump - Junta is skipping all traditional forms of achieving #Legitimacy (because they suck at it) in favor of #Power.
Their Legitimacy is "because I say so" & people accept that because "it gets the job done". They think. But it totally doesn't.
If that power falters, so does all Legitimacy.
