    The supreme court only matters because we believe in it. States could just… choose not to follow their instructions.

        Because he runs the federal government right now, and the federal government has power over the states, so he will punish them.

          They have been coordinating a systematic dismantling of and eventual destruction of democracy and civil society for the better part of a century now. The republicans are the fucking antichrist.

          It’s so god damned bleak, and this is the endgame. Starve the beast, the southern strategy, the voter suppression and gerrymandering, the union busting, judicial capture, regulatory capture, the lobbying, the ceaseless propaganda machine, the economic sabotage, the normalization of authoritarianism, the rolling back of civil rights, the educational manipulation…

          Here’s the Project 2025 tracker. They are HALF WAY DONE. In five months. It’s fucking done, we’re done, democracy is gone, there will be no more free and fair elections, they have us by the balls in a vice, and they will never let go.
