Among these, I always get stuck on the Senate filibuster. It did not exist in any form while the Framers were alive. The current form, in which a Senator can stop a bill permanently without doing anything, did not exist until the 1970s. But it's treated as sacrosanct.

“Those doors were able to open for me because my children had access to Head Start; it had a huge impact on my family and allowed me to become self-sufficient.” I don't have kids but if I did, I'd certainly want a support system in place for them. I don't understand the hubris that entails.

A reminder that if Trump wins & purges the civil service to replace it with loyalists as planned, all sorts of govt data will become totally untrustworthy. The House GOP is already trying to rig the census to screw Democrats in redistricting after Trump's first-term attempt failed

"You want to know how far this opinion goes? Just wait six months. He's going to get advice as to what his maximal power is. We may find out sooner rather than later how far these powers go."

Starting to think calling this a "conspiracy theory" is a fundamental error. It creates the impression that MAGA personalities are in the grip of some sort of massive delusion, as opposed to consciously manufacturing a pretext to jail Dems as part of a deliberately, knowingly constructed plot.
