Unironically and sincerely: This is why Trump won.

One problem with the idea of reserving due process for law-abiding people is that due process is how we figure out which people are law-abiding.

EVERY hill is worth dying on because Trump will always overreact and hurt himself.
(but it was the right hill anyway)
Tariffs? Why wouldn’t we want manufacturing here
DOGE? It just makes sense to stop fraud
Deportations? Of course we shouldn’t have gang members here
Zero regard for taking those things to their logical conclusions
Tariffs: other countries will then put their own tariffs on. Why would they just let us “win”?
DOGE: is fraud the same as “things we don’t like?” - does congress not have a say?
Deportations: what if DOS labels political parties in US terrorists? Can we deport their ppl?
Or because they've already decided that you can tell by looking who's law abiding and who isn't? (Like maybe by checking skin color?)
It will all be so dumb, and done for the dumber reasons, because the dumbest people want it.
