Answer-
Thanks for your question Diver Dan.
Yes, a lot of this seems paradoxical. The first question in a crisis is, "who do you trust?". (I trust Trump.) Then how do we turn this temporary trust into something somewhat permanent, through selective empowerment, borders, structure, education, institutions, law, etc? What happens when the people driving the system that you trust are gone?
When things seem paradoxical, you have to review your underlying assumptions, to find the source of your misunderstanding. There are some paradoxes that you won't be able to resolve, because they are founded in the nature of reality, but the process will give you a higher perspective, and usually you can make an 'appropriate' compromise. Perhaps this is the difference between realism and idealism, that is not to say that ideals/ principles are negotiable, but they occupy a space with hidden principles.
Essentially, how do we change this world system into the next, while staying connected with the continuity of the past.
The law isn't always the answer. (I suspect that it's rarely the answer.)
I hope I've provided something useful here in answer to your question Diver Dan.
