@rbreich

Jan 6th never ended, the Republican party has been actively couping since that day, and the second votes put victory out of their reach, they will do a dozen things we're not even thinking about now, to obliterate the zone and take what they have planned to.

That my elected leaders, and all their ivory tower pundits, still believe in speaking with nuance about this cult-of-death movement, fucking boils my blood into smoke.

Not thinking big enough.
Trump WILL add as many as he wants to. He will remove them when he wishes, no one will bother pointing out how things used-to work, and it will become a regular Punch and Judy show of pleasing Lord Fuckstick, and trying to oust each other for better position.

We made a country for gods to run, and the worst of us have finally understood what that means. SCOTUS believes they are gods.
