    How come all the checks and balances we all learned about work when it comes to keeping people in prison for drug crimes, but they don’t work on keeping fascists from government… 🤷‍♀️

      It’s because the system of check and balances was designed assuming the people within the system are acting in good faith. The republicans are not, as as such can abuse the system and the people who are acting in good faith

      There is also the discussion of how our system is designed to let the people who have power keep that power
