1:59:00 I've been thinking Walter's epiphany here for a decade. I use different words, but they arrive at the same outcome.

Think back to when as a child you loved playing TicTacTo

Do you remember when you stopped playing?

Do you remember why?

We stop playing TicTacTo when the game is figured out. When the possibility of victory between the two players is eliminated.

This is the point we have reached in democracy.

Trump has found out (many before him have flirted with it, but Trump perfected it) where to place the X on the TicTacTo game to end the game in a forced draw.

TicTacTo dies when you achieve annulling knowledge

Democracy dies when you achieve annulling knowledge
