cashew: Sumomo acting like Sumomo (Default)

Having a hard time concentrating

Question: so, like, does anyone actually believe the rule of law can still hold Trump administration (including Elon & his team of techbro muskrats) accountable?

If yes, how do you see this happening when the enforcement arm is under Trump administration's control?

If no, why is the only resistance coming in the form of lawsuits?

Like, is anyone paying attention that the court's rulings haven't actually stopped the illegal actions? USAID still can't get their funding. NOAA data remains deleted. "Fork in the Road" emails are still being sent out. Etc. The court orders are straight up being ignored.

I mean I know it's only been 3 weeks, but like...shouldn't all the people who were warning that Trump is a fascist and that this is going to lead to the fall of democracy have been making plans for exactly this scenario three months ago? I'm a bit tired of reading smug "I told you so" posts when none of y'all had enough conviction in your beliefs to have organized a counter-fascist operation.

Again, the other side is willing to use violence to put a fascist in power. What is the resistance willing to do to stop the fascist coup?

(As an outsider, I can't look away from the garbage fire that is the U.S. government at the moment.)
