You may be right, but it seems to me that sleeper cells need direction. Otherwise, they'll interpret their ideology divergently. They may block progress pretty effectively, but it'll be hard for them to make gains in a shared direction.

I thought it was interesting and original until the pointless cat scene and the complete lack of an ending.

This is all true, but there's not clear line of succession after Trump, so they'll splinter. Redirecting the fervor to some new dear leader will take a long time. The Trump thralls are entirely invested in him alone.

Mobs cannot be reliably wielded for long, as Mussolini found out.

It's literally impossible to fully boycott Amazon, I've been trying for years. Even if you buy elsewhere, often you'll find out after the fact that Amazon does the shipping or payment processing.

We should nationalize their monopoly or break it up.

Not only do [the old trucks] only get 9 miles per gallon, they’re also noisy, smelly (I have to close my window every day when the mail truck comes around), have no air conditioning, hard to stand up in, and their only safety feature is mirrors that constantly fall out of alignment. AP also points out that nearly 100 LLVs caught fire last year – a common event when it comes to internal combustion vehicles.

Now I feel bad that perhaps her best friend kept calling her "old man".

So it sounds like you don't believe progressive taxation works. I guess that's an understandable viewpoint. But if you think complexity is the problem, I have a hard time accepting your assessment of me as naïve. People that want simple solutions to complex problems are showing the lack of sophistication that defines naïvety.
