To je to, i ja to sve vreme pričam. Insitucije su bitne, ali politička kultura je bitnija. Bez političke kulture, nema institucija, odnosno, potpuno su nebitne, možeš ih oblikovati kako želiš, a ne moraš čak ni da menjaš zakone (mada možeš i to, i sigurno će biti i toga).
Evo šta kaže Miler (kačio sam već na drugoj temi):
Populists aren’t just fantasy politicians; what they say and do can be in response to real grievances, and can have very real consequences. But it is important to appreciate that they aren’t just like other politicians, with a bit more rabble-rousing rhetoric thrown in. They define an alternative political reality in which their monopoly on the representation of the ‘real people’ is all that matters: in Trump’s case, an alt-reality under the auspices of the alt-right. At best, populists will waste years for their countries, as Berlusconi did in Italy. In the US, this will probably mean a free hand for K Street lobbyists and all-out crony capitalism (or, in the case of Trump, maybe capitalism in one family); continual attempts to undermine checks and balances (including assaults on judges as enemies of the people when they rule against what real citizens want; and life being made extremely difficult for the media); and government as a kind of reality TV show with plenty of bread and circuses. And the worst case? Regime change in the United States of America.
Ljudi stalno zaboravljaju od koliko neizgovernih premisa i dobrih običaja rad institucija zapravo zavisi. Da li je zabranjeno da predsednik nazove sudije neprijateljima naroda? Pa nije zabranjeno, to se prosto ne radi, to su neka podrazumevana pravila igre, čak i kad republikanci koketiraju sa tom linijom kritike neizabranih "platonskih vladara" iz Ustavnog suda.
Ili pazi ovo - Tramp je već u nekoliko navrata ditch-ovao onaj novinarski protective pool. Jel prekršio neki zakon? Nije, ali je prekršio dobre običaje demokratskog poretka. I šta? Ništa. On ionako tvrdi da su oni pokvareni i korumpirani, kao što Martinović tvrdi da su poslanici opozcije mrzitelji koji žele krvorproliće na ulicama. Prema njima se držati pravila, pa tek nepisanih?
Da ne pominjem način na koji se Tramp svađa sa NYT-em preko tvitera. Vučić bar zakaže KZN.
Ljudi su stravično naivni kad veruju da institucije rade same od sebe. Kad se preko noći desi sea change u političkoj kulturi, a dešava se, i zastrašujuće je kako brzo se ljudi prilagođavaju novim uslovima, nema institucije koja to može da promeni.

Hannity calls on Trump to freeze out the press

Fox News commentator Sean Hannity said that until journalists admit to colluding with Hillary Clinton’s campaign, President-elect Donald Trump should reconsider granting traditional access to reporters.
“Trump can do this and speak directly to you, the America people, without having his words twisted and taken out of context,” Hannity said on his Fox show Tuesday night, noting that the president-elect had put out a video announcing a plan for executive actions in his first 100 days in office. "Why not do that?”
Pointing to stolen emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, Hannity said those assigned to cover the former secretary of state’s campaign had failed to uphold the most basic requirements of their jobs.
“So until members of the media come clean about colluding with the Clinton campaign and admit that they knowingly broke every ethical standard they are supposed to uphold, they should not have the privilege, they should not have the responsibility of covering the president on behalf of you, the American people," added Hannity.
Hannity openly endorsed Trump during the campaign and hosted the Republican nominee on his program and at various town hall events across the country. In late September, Hannity also appeared in a pro-Trump video, which led a spokesperson for the cable channel to tell POLITICO at the time that the host would not be featured in anything similar for the rest of the campaign. The New York Times reported in August that Hannity had "for months peppered Mr. Trump, his family members and advisers with suggestions on strategy and messaging."
The White House Correspondents Association has expressed concern about the Trump transition team's handling of the press, and is pushing the president-elect to set up a so-called protective pool to monitor his movements, as is traditional. Trump's aides have said they will follow the usual protocol, but have provided few details.
Trump has not held a formal news conference since July 27, but he has taken shouted questions at his retreat in Bedminster, New Jersey, and granted interviews to CBS and Fox News. He also held an off-the-record meeting with executives and top network stars at his Trump Tower office, though he used the occasion to air grievances about coverage.
On Tuesday, during an interview with editors and writers from The New York Times, Trump said only that the press would be "happy" with his approach to the First Amendment.
"I think you’ll be happy. I think you’ll be happy," Trump said, acknowledging that he had threatened to loosen up libel laws as president.
"Actually, somebody said to me on that, they said, ‘You know, it’s a great idea, softening up those laws, but you may get sued a lot more.’ I said, ‘You know, you’re right, I never thought about that.’ I said, ‘You know, I have to start thinking about that.’ So, I, I think you’ll be OK. I think you’re going to be fine."
