  • Why do people keep responding to this like laws and tradition meananything?

    What does anyone think will be different this time??

    The leader of an insurrection delayed investigations until getting reelected, threatened and fired people who dared to look at him sideways, and is unapologetically defying a judge’s orders while using his sentient moneybag to openly bribe politicians who say they’re willing to impeach a judge for not agreeing with the president (going against the warnings of the supreme court).

    Where are our papers and pens going to get the power to do anything about it when all the power sits with the president? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, anyone who pushes back hard enough is going to experience The Night of the Long Knives.

    I genuinely think we are days to weeks away from seeing a politician become a political prisoner. And even then, headlines will ask “are we inching closer to fascism?” And people will say, “this is what the laws are for. We just have to wait for the system to work.”

    Lex Luthor has taken over Metropolis and is killing anyone standing up to him, Lois Lane is sobbing over Clark Kent’s mangled corpse while Jimmy Olsen assures her that Superman will show up any moment now and everything will be okay. At that same time, Perry White is telling the printer to run the headline “Luthor Shoots 61 Citizens in one day, Experts say This Could be Illegal”
