This has been in the works for a very long time. Anyone that has read Das Kapital (Marx) understands that unregulated capitalism turns into a fascist oligarchy of sorts. We were almost there before the great depression hit, and it evolved into an actual plotted assassination of FDR (thank you, Smedley Butler for warning him!).
We're going through a serious period of chaos, and we're going to have to keep our heads about us.
My opinion: It's time to re-write the constitution to get rid of the "holes" (electoral college for one; two senators per state for another, etc) in our democracy that has allowed this mess trump and putin have bestowed upon us. We couldn't get there without this period of chaos, and a fight against tyranny.
Let's keep our heads, and push for a "more perfect union".
