Yes, Dems hold on to norms. Republicans do not. That’s it.

I’d like state AGs to weigh in on the US Supreme Court ruling as it seems to breach state equality clauses. Protecting freedoms from a despotic King. I see a path to revolution now that I couldn’t see before.

But Trump would have at least 34 supporters to prevent the same happening to him. I'm sure he can find that many.

I mean it'd be hilarious because they'd have to go through all of that for something so obviously criminal. What an indictment on our country.

This is the quandary Biden is in. Democratic norms only endure if they are bought into and fostered. So, what do you do when the only other party openly flouts them? Smack dab in the middle of an existential trolley problem for American democracy.

Biden could order the Secretary of Education to destroy all student debt records, the full scale surveillance of the Trump campaign and all of their communications, and order the DOJ to bring brand new charges against Trump.

Exactly what, Chris? If Biden were so motivated he could have all the ones planning to impeach or convict him killed. Then pardon the killers. All of that is and was constitutional.

I don’t think it’s gallows humor though, we’ve been watching the Republicans break laws and norms for so long that people are furious the Democrats aren’t fighting back. We really need some actionable strong leadership right now, this is a moment in history.

As opposed to what Chris? Having democrats make appearances on legacy media giving us a play by play of how fucked we are? We get it, we have to vote, but those in office need to do something dramatically different than whatever the fuck they're doing.
