We can— and must— defend constitutional norms as if they are institutions worth protecting while simultaneously acknowledging that those institutions are not self-executing and require political work to preserve.

How? Listen if the elected officials and institutions are doing SQUAT while people protest call reps non stop & they do not give a rats ass anyway.. you’re asking for revolution & i am not talkin’ ‘nice’ here. So either you give us ideas on how to make things actually change IRL or don’t but 1/2
it wont end well if nothing happens & this 🍊 nazi cunt continues to exact revenge on everyone b.c to him the American people including all in North America not just US EI etc are his enemies. I hate MAGAT fucks may they die & their entire DNA go into extinction 2/2
Yes I agree.
However, biggest challenge we face is NOT executive power limits, it’s actually the 1st Amendment. The Founders never contemplated that with enough data & compute, AI/ML can fool most of the people most of the time. Disinformation is a weapon of mass destruction.
It’s how we got here.
Disinformation is
-Deeply influencing elections
-Amplifying racism, xenophobia, transphobia
-killing Americans by making otherwise intelligent people distrust vaccines/choose ineffective/no therapies
-Dividing country
It’s killing us b/c unregulated: not “cause” per se more like weapon of choice
While my representatives are bluer than blue, even they don’t seem to see a way out. They make statements with no power or action behind them because the levers they once used are not just broken, but missing! Right now “We the people” is just an old line from a seemingly dead document.

The system only works as long as people buy into it and believe.
