    Well, to the outsiders looking in, it looks like these protests are non existent and not effective. Doesn’t seem to be much stopping Trump, with the courts now siding on Trump regarding deploying the national guard. I gotta be honest with you, it looks like your democracy is on life support at the moment.

        Armchair doomer, I like that. I’m not an American, I just have family and friends there, as I write this from a west African nation where I am a foreign worker, we had a supposed coup attempt. I’m looking at Europe vis a vis Russia and things don’t look peachy. I’m originally from Lebanon, and the entire Middle East is fucked outside of the petro bubble that are the Gulf Dictatorship Monarchies. So forgive me my pessimism when the supposed “Leader of the free world” is trying to dismantle the democratic state which will have far reaching effects on the world as a whole.

            I truly hope more judges grow a pair and actually do their jobs as per the constitution. Agreed he’s not untouchable as made clear with the Kilmar Abrego Garcia fiasco. I’m crossing my fingers for all you normal people!
