There was an opportunity after his first term and nothing came of it. His actions were indicative enough and yet he's back again. People are asleep at the wheel and won't wake up until they crash, at which point it's usually too late. And if by some miracle they survive without being severely handicapped for the rest of their life they don't learn and repeat the mistake a few years down the line!
The slow system was not able to do shit in 4 years.
Not to mention that democracy (control by the people) itself is merely an empty label, like "control of the means of production", because people are also controlled (influenced to a great degree) by many things.
In this case, it seems, the neoreactionary movement convinced a critical mass of people.
Even though Trump's approval rating is the lowest of all presidents, and will likely continue to drop, but will that be enough to get an anti-Trump supermajority after the midterms? (Unlikely.)
Sure, but no matter how many async request you accept you still only have 50k items available. You also presumably take people's money, having them input their personal and card information so not waiting for real response means what? Thank you for your money and the data, we'll be in touch soon; pinky promise?

That's very much an option when it's something this popular - the Olympics I went to did an even more extreme version of that ("Thank you for putting in which events you wanted to see, your card may be charged up to x some time within the next month").
Or you can do it like plane seats: allocate 50k provisional tickets during the initial release (async but on a small timescale), and then if a provisional ticket isn't paid for within e.g. 3 days you put it back on sale.
Ultimately if it takes you x minutes to confirm payment details then you have to either take payment details from some people who then don't get tickets, or put some tickets back on sale when payment for them fails. But that's not really a scaling issue - you have the same problem trying to sell 1 thing to 5 people on an online shop.
You have 50,000 tickets to spread between one million people, you can partition people to tickets and only have 20 people per ticket. You won't have strict ordering (e.g., someone who applied after may get a ticket where someone who applied earlier doesn't), but we'd be talking about errors in the milliseconds.
Indeed. On the other hand, it takes very little for an idiot to come to power. And it's very handy having everyone wearing the star of david in a nice parseable list isn't it?
