I’m not from the US so all of this is baffling. In Europe and even South America there’s tons of mechanisms to stop that from happening, and this kind of meddling would seriously result in arrests. However this is happening in the US with these people going completely unchecked. How is that even possible?!

    I think you misunderstand the phrase as I’m using it.

    Time is always on someone’s side. It’s the nimble, the patient, the determined who win. MAGA is more nimble than the institutions that oppose it. It’s been more patient and focused than the opposition which has been constantly chasing after the latest shiny object of the week/month/year rather than anticipating the need for focus and unity. The bad guys are winning and they are not slowing down; we are falling further behind.

      again, you’re using the operative “falling” as if we’re still in a process, we aren’t, it’s done, barring the same fucking people who couldn’t be bothered to vote, turning into active effective terrorists or enacting a long term sustained general strike, there is no constitutional power which can any longer be employed to stop trump (and anyone he chooses) doing whatever it is he wants to do. none. zilch. rien. bubkas.
