We'll only get the democracy that we can manage to keep.

Sorry, but I think you're past that — you'll need to take it back by force.

Force is not the only way. A general strike would work too because it hits the rich where it hurts: their money. The billionaires already had it good under democracy. If they think they will have it better with Trump in jail, he will be behind bars in a blink.
