    To the shock of absolutely fucking no one. We’re officially at the “the rules are made up and the points don’t matter” part of the US decline.

      Also the court system. “We are pretty sure this is illegal but until we officially say its illegal in 2 years go ahead and keep doing it”.

      “The rules are made up” has been the ruling classes M.O. for all of history. No rule of law has ever applied to them.

      The SC stole the 2000 election for Bush. The fascist oligarchy has been playing the long game and almost completely destroyed the American experiment. They control the entire R party, and enough D’s to neuter meaningful resistance. The only question now is whether the American people will take the power back, or continue to accept the coup and embrace a totalitarian dystopia far worse than the Gestapo or KGB could have ever dreamed.
