For now, this is true. Long-term, we need to find a way to rebuild norms.

I don't remotely trust any of the people that want to suspend norms now to restore them later.

When 1 of the 2 major political parties has decided it really no longer wants to participate in democracy no matter how unwieldy & disjointed it is & has the backing of mega billionaires who themselves gave no 1 farthing Abt democracy then we are in defcon 1 territory.

These fuvkers are breaking the laws, codifying them does what exactly? Without honest brokers, we end up right back here.

I mean...yes, but at that point you may as well just hand power to the person with the biggest gun. Part of reinstituting norms and laws is that a liberal system of government is better than the current one.

I’d rather us have the freaking biggest gun tbh. We are more likely to rebuild this shit.

Only way to get there is to convince enough people to back us. That's it.

Hey I’m of the mindset at this point to let this shit burn, we’ve never done that before. We’ve always stepped up and saved these fools.

I think we need to actually have more than two parties long-term, maybe with rank-choice voting. If one party never controlled fifty percent of Congress, it would be hard for one party to rig things in its favor.

Rank choice might have saved us if you could explain to majority of citizens what exactly rank choice is. Just saying🤣

We can have as many norms as we’d like, without honest moral brokers, we end up here.
