"We have no precedent for an administration treating its own government like a hostile territory to be conquered and exploited," writes Michelle Goldberg.

You'll recall, it was a Republican president who invaded Iraq, instigated regime change, so thoroughly destroying its infrastructure the US had to stay and prop it up. It was a Republican president, Trump, whose last-minute order to immediately withdraw left it to a Democrat president to fulfill.
While this piece may be helpful for some, by citing the US interventions into government (albeit a foreign one). Personally, I found the Amicus / Slate piece was more helpful.
... the LIES that America has been living for centuries is finally catching up with us!! Our "Constitution " is, after all ,an Article of Faith (hoping that a rogue does not get into power). We are now coming to terms with the House of Cards that we built.
“This is unprecedented,” no longer matters for describing this Administration. The author is correct that this is a hostile takeover, but a takeover of the U.S. Constitution.
Help fund the lawsuits against the lawless behavior; Marc Elias at Democracy Docket tracks the suits so you can find them. He also chases voter suppression efforts, which we have to challenge locally.
NY, CA, IL who will be the first AG to file state felony charges against Musk and his bros, who might include Russian-linked mobsters, for stealing US citizen data? Hurry the f up!
Thanks. We get it. Anything that might seem critical of The King is an opinion piece, regardless of facts. Because reality doesn’t exist anymore. It’s just one side vs another. Who even knows what’s real? YOU DO, YOU’RE THE MFING PAPER OF RECORD WITH CENTURIES OF CLOUT *ahem* sorry, my allergies
Michelle Goldberg’s observation is spot on. Under Donald Trump's administration, we witnessed a disturbing erosion of respect for the very institutions that sustain democracy.
It’s because the heritage foundation, & the federalist society, all have something to do with this as well. Project 2025 is exactly what’s happening
& Trump is enacting it for them.
Trump never had respect for America’s institutions.
I think the plan was to enact the voters not to vote for Trump. Democrats warned all of what’s happening.

Ditto the hurry the f up!

No plan with all the writing on the wall for the past decade (&more) is another.
