I keep arguing with some people including lawyers or professors I’ve known for a long time and respect about the past month, As they maintain the system will prevail, don’t get too excited, the bottom won’t fall out
I keep telling them there is no bottom left and they just need to accept that…

You still have to fight to maintain the rules.
All we can do now is help each other. No one is going to save us but us.
By the time enough people realize it, it will be too late
I’m starting to think it’s impossible to learn from history because people only recognize things in retrospect
First was when SCOTUS gave trump immunity for whatever they want to let him do.
Congress has also given him immunity by refusing to remove him for both impeachments. The GOP will obviously NEVER check him.
And now Musk is just shutting down agencies.
And that’s a razor thin defense line.
This might be the sudden part of losing your democracy now.
And probably nothing short of that.
But yeah, that’s razor thin as defense for democracy goes.
Executive ignores the Judicial branch.
Smart people: "The guardrails will hold."
But for now, so many of the quaint protections you thought we had are just gone. Done. Evaporated.
(That's normalcy bias, it affects a lot of smart people, and it's really hard to shake.)
Break a few links and the contracts are meaningless.
But human psychology in the face of threat is weird. Fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.
Anyway, he’s just one of millions of examples of how it takes a Lot of education and legal “expertise” to be that fucking stupid about what’s actually at stake this very second.

As children must come to understand their parent will die, so too must a shitlib come to terms with the inevitable collapse of their ideals
Because when the bottom does fall out, and they leave, what's left will see an economic calamity that will make the Depression look like the 50s.
Do they not know their WWII history?
Don't know in what state(s) Bove is licensed. But like Guiliani, Sidney Powell, Lin Wood et al. from last time, state professional responsibility offices will be busy soon.
