    It’s interesting to think it’s taken a long time before a President was able to so obviously expose the cracks in the American constitution. It took someone entirely without shame or integrity to do so, but he did it during his first term and his second is going to be even more abusive. How does America fix this system going forwards? With the country so divided and polarised, it feels like another civil war might be the only way to solve that, but a civil war is unthinkable. But then so much else that was unthinkable has already happened in recent years.

      americans will still firmly believe “it’ll never happen in this country” even as roving bands of newly deputized trump gestapo squads are going door to door demanding to know where your loyalties lie

        Fascists and records are a disastrous combination. With our massive surveillance problems we could be in serious trouble.
