John Roberts must be the most neurotypical person in existence because the immunity ruling reads like someone who has never had a single “but what if…???” anxiety spiral in his life
That son of a bitch went home and had a nice dinner after declaring that the United States has an absolute monarch now. And by "now" I mean "whenever Trump or someone similar gets elected."
Or, imagine this, he just wrote whatever makes it seem like it’s not just a naked power grab because it’s not about the words, it’s about consolidation of power for the right wing
That's so funny. He's trying to kill us because he's a fascist. That's the purpose of the immunity ruling. It doesn't matter what's going on in his brain besides that.
He's very privileged. He's never HAD things go sideways, probably. He's never BEEN surprised by what's happening to him. The number one reason we shouldn't have privileged people in positions of power is they don't understand the humanity of crisis because it has never happened to them.
The weird thing is that the *whole case* this is founded upon was considered an “extreme hypothetical” all the way up to Jan. 5, 2021. A real tut-tutter for people who want to consider such scenarios hyperbole. I mean there were pundits everywhere snickering at the idea of Trump doing a coup.
The "what ifs" are the point to the conservative justices. The "what ifs" are what they're counting on. John Roberts is not a swing vote anymore, he's a conservative justice.
Oh, he has.
He's just lying in his opinion. He knows that the worst possible hypotheticals will come true. He just thinks that the worst possible hypotheticals are good things.
I imagine he assumed he would be immediately assassinated via drone strike by an official order from a newly immune to punishment President Biden so it wasn't going to be his problem. Imagine his surprise when he woke up alive.
Feel free to block me as a boring pedant; but as a licensed therapist just here to reiterate that neurotypical does not mean lacking the ability to engage in anxiety spirals. Like, ‘statistically average’ doesn’t mean good or healthy!
