Douglass speaks urgently to our crisis. "It was an honest president backed up by ... people ... who regarded society as superior to its forms... They resolved to save the country with the Constitution if they could, but at any rate to save the country. To this we owe our present safety as a nation."
This, and/but I'm also waiting for the draft amendment to the Constitution that explicitly allows for the prosecution of any federal office-holder after leaving office.
It makes me uncomfortable that this is the same logic used by the Christian Nationalists. I don't know what to do with that, or how I feel about it. Maybe I'm mad they're forcing a crisis on us, that this would be necessary at all.
