I think even that is being generous. With how eager this court has been to genuflect to him, I’d expect the ruling to be something more akin to “On clear reading, all government power and authority is derived from the Executive exclusively, including that which is graciously and magnanimously extended to all other branches of government.”
This! There will be no more elections, no more representation, just plutocrats fucking the poor to extract more wealth and power, until there is no more clean water or air and then voluntary slavery to the faceless multinational in charge of your region can be instituted to grant limited access to few remaining clean food and water they’ve stockpiled. Trump is a cancer and has been ignored and enabled at every turn. There is no future that includes a free voice of dissent for any, but especially of you can’t afford the toll.
He doesn’t just want to be a dictator, he is actively taking steps to entrench and enshrine himself as one; and our feckless SCrOTUS and Congress are only too happy to do whatever is necessary to further this agenda. For those that support him, the math is simple: “Being in his favor may yield rewards.” For those that oppose him the math is still simple, “He’s going to leave office eventually, then it’ll ‘our turn’ and we’ll be able to rule an authoritarian state with absolute power and a fully functioning surveillance network.” The American Experiment has failed…miserably. The US and indeed the rest of the world need to stop pretending that this is suddenly going to end, or cooler heads will prevail. The US is a threat to global stability, peace, and prosperity. Any state, government, monarch, or political body that hasn’t accepted that this is the new reality is deluding themselves. This is the new normal and we only become more fascist, draconian, and totalitarian as the days go by. President Thunder Thighs still has 3+ more years left in his Constitutionally mandated term, and it’s only taken him 9 months to dismantle everything resembling functional representative democracy. By the time his term is “up” there will be one party rule, lifetime appointments to office, the dissolution of all other branches of governments, and the complete closure of borders (publicly to keep undesirables out, but functionally to prevent brain drain and keep everyone in). Everyday he and his cronies find some new way to assume more power, and there is no check or balance to combat that. While many will say “it’s defeatist” or “don’t give up”, we’re watching in real time as the mechanisms for voicing and acting on dissent are being dismantled or criminalized. They come back harder after every set back and it’s only a matter of time before even this comment becomes a crime against the state.
By Tuberville’s logic, “Hitler was one of the most influential people in Poland”
The claim will be that it’s the Dems fault, so they’ll be derided by the gov’t media as society collapses; and much the way an abusive partner blames their victim, it’ll be people being shot in the streets in droves, drones with hellfire missiles being ordered to fire on urban centers, and the administration will just have whatever blonde talking head they choose come out and say “this could have all been avoided but the Dems were allowed to exist for too long and this is what happened. See what they made us do?”
