We really need to stop talking about this as some kind of looming threat rather than a process well underway. It’s not “close.” You have arrived at your destination. The order has been delivered.

'We're an autocracy now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're litigating that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can litigate too, and that's how things will sort out'

Cars and roads are the real substance of this country. One must be on the way somewhere. The destination is secondary.

the problem with this image isn't that it's gross or immoral, it's that it's nostalgic. This USA no longer exists

This is archetypally impeachable. Trump’s innovation is to just announce it publicly, so it gets framed as a controversial political choice instead of what it is: a crime against the Constitution.

This drives me mad. If polls say voters don’t disapprove of disappearing people to gulags, then the voters are fucked up and need to be persuaded or shamed into decency. You can’t just treat a view like that as an unshakeable given. There’s no modus vivendi with a fundamentally indecent electorate.
