When folks talk about the US devolving into lawlessness if the Democrats match Republican strategies, I don't know how to take that seriously. If you're law-abiding and someone else isn't, that won't stop them from criminally victimizing you. Lawful behavior is no safeguard from lawless behavior.
Like... We passed that threshold four years ago when people were shitting on the floor in the Capitol. That ship has sailed. Those who have paid attention have known for a while that this election was going to be an unprecedented dirty clusterfuck. Get in the mud and fight for your lives Ds!
It seems the two classes of people most likely to get into decision making positions are either the maximally ruthless ones, or the ones who learned what it means to be a good person in kindergarten and followed orders thereafter without ever adding any nuance to those values.
They aren't even doing legal things they could be. I keep going back to ICE ignoring Biden's executive order on border enforcement in the first days of his administration. Instead of removing the (recess-appointed) head of ICE, Biden just gave in
That would have been uncontroversially in his power
Also the Democrats have always been baby bitches. Prolly cuz they don't wanna hurt their golfing buddy's feelings. Won't let genocide and human rights get in the way of their palsy walsy best friend connection.
I partake in lawless behavior allllllll the time. Call me when we need shit burnt down. I'm not good with intricacies and human interaction. Which is prolly why I do lawless shit all the time.
