Instead of focusing on issues, on genuine need, the Trump administration is occupied with pettiness and payback and poisoning the water. It’s all damnable, inexcusable behavior, but of course many are offering two thumbs up.
The sheer volume of bullshit is staggering. The ease with which Project 2025 has been implemented, or at least introduced, is stunning, and disheartening. Court decisions appear to be the only impediments, the only weapon we have when it comes to keeping this takeover and dismantling at bay.
But what happens if Trump and the rest simply decide not to abide by lower court decisions—or even SCOTUS decisions, when they inevitably come? It’s a safe bet this will happen, which highlights how fragile, indeed, is our whole system. It’s always been a matter of enough people buying in.
There is no bedrock other than buy-in and trust in the rule of law, trust in actual experts who know things that are beneficial and efficacious. Trump and the rest are simply casting all that aside, as if it means nothing.
