A Nation of Laws, not Men... nonsense.
The Majesty of the Law... pure sophistry.
"The Law" is whatever Republicans say it is anyone hoping guardrails and Institutions will protect us as they barely fucking did during Trump's first reign is fooling themselves. The 6 Injustices have taken power in this Nation and their goal like all Republicans is to Rule or Ruin. If they can't have control of all levers of power well they will make those levers unusable, inaccessible, or unenforceable.
Most people don't pay attention to the Supreme Court at all and this won't get the Corporate Media headlines (like wall-to-wall coverage of BIDEN DROP OUT got) because Corporate Media serves Corporate Interests.
The reality is most people will be unaffected (at first) so they won’t do anything in response to what is coming. Eventually, people might recognize things suck for them as companies simply violate clean air and water regulations or clear cut National Parks but, that's when the Rightwing Media Machine will kick into high gear and blame the Immigrants and Transgenders for American's woes. Those few individuals who do feel that resistance is called for will face the full fury of the Federal law enforcement apparatus without all of Trumps special privileges.
John Roberts has laid the foundation for an American military dictatorship. Trump, or more accurately his cabal of vile acolytes have a plan to institute the monstrous regime. I still have hope that the ground-level Police Officer, National Guardsman, or Army Reservist will balk at orders to round-up and execute millions of people but, that is a slender thread to rest the Soul of the Nation upon. Most people due to personal fear, lassitude, or animosity will go along with what's ordered because hey Trump's President therefore what he (or more precisely Stephen Miller) is ordering is perfectly legal and didn't the Supreme Court rule Official Acts confer immunity?
Understand the playbook is the same as it always is for Fascists. They'll target the weakest or the most maligned and powerless segments of society; undocumented (Hispanic) immigrants and the members of the LGBTQ+ community. But, it never stops there and already the rules and "laws" are in place to enslave women. Republican controlled States are already enforcing Christianity and melding Church and State. Even your 1st Amendment rights are contingent on the Surpemacist Court's give-and-take shell game.
Right now, all isn't lost. But, even if Joe Biden pulls off a win in 2024 we are balanced on the knife's edge of America becoming a full-fledged Fascist Ethnostate. Don't give in to despair. I acknowledge your feelings and fears and share them. But, we can stave off defeat in November 2024. And then fight day-to-day to keep a winning streak going.
Fascists win we you give up and give in. Don't!
