My point is that we need to think, and be vigilant of our rights:  We need to wake up, and not be played by the puppet masters jerking our strings through the TV.

A nation of TV watchers elected Trump, and trust him to run the country for them while they're busy playing video games and buying more stuff---But he didn't plan on winning and doesn't really have any idea how to govern now that he's won.

I'm sure Trump looked at the election, even if he did win, as the most important popularity contest in the world, and so it is; now that he's won, he's relying on the people around him to flesh out a government, and they're doing it in a predictable fashion.

We can't be merely responders to media stimuli anymore; reactionaries, subjects---We have to take the reins of our destiny into our own hands for a change.

Trump's a good thing in this sense:  Leave the driving to him?  Huh uh.
