Without countermajoritarian protections and institutions, politics would be reduced to raw power.

Assuming as I do that Trump will win the election we must nevertheless contemplate the likelihood that he will inherit a very difficult economic situation that inevitably must include severe hardship for millions of Americans.

If hard cases make bad laws, hard times lead to politics being reduced to raw power. That America may be embarking, despite all Trump's magic, into an era of hard times means that the siren call to overcome counter majority are in protections and institutions in the name of bread for everyone will be very, very difficult to withstand.
