Above the law, currently

It’s always running in the background. It’s always here. A relentless hum, a buzzing in our ears.

Even if it’s a good day, for whatever reason, it rears its ugly head at some point, like a chronic headache, an unwanted pall that settles in and ruins the vibe. It sometimes feels like we’re all living on borrowed time, like we’re trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy, hoping we’re not seeing what we’re seeing, maybe sticking our heads in the sand, or plugging our ears and singing “la, la, la…” while the foundation crumbles around us.

There is a growing sense of inevitability, though, because the cast of black hats in Washington D.C. are intentionally thwarting the rule of law, thumbing their noses at it, and getting away with it. Who can stop them, and what’s it gonna take?

Sure, there are demonstrations nationwide. People are unhappy and letting that be known. But doesn’t everyone also know that violence is likely to be where this is heading?

It seems we’re taking every step to ward that off, to hold it off. But what are the options when Trump ignores the SCOTUS rulings and in general scoffs at the Constitution and circumvents everything created to avoid this exact scenario? What happens when someone attempts to enforce the laws and find Trump in contempt? Does he cue the January 6 pardonees to make trouble because their time has finally arrived? Does he have sway over our armed forces and law enforcement in general—enough to get them to turn on their fellow countrymen and women? It could be like Kent State, on steroids, and then it’s a snowball running down a steep incline from there.

What should boil everyone’s blood is that the cracked minds who conceived Project 2025 are likely to have anticipated most of what has unfolded thus far, including the anti-oligarchy tour and the nationwide protests and the SCOTUS rulings and all the roadblocks people have attempted to put up. Roberts, Vought, Vance, Miller, Bannon—they all want revolution, and they don’t care how it unfolds.

Remember what Kevin Roberts said back before the election, about an ongoing second American revolution that will “remain bloodless if the left allows it to be…”– as if we’re all supposed to take what’s currently happening sitting down?

What should boil our blood is that there were plain-as-day, bright and bold and massive signs of foreboding all along the way. And voters either ignored or blew right past them, electing a nightmare with teeth this time around.
