Democrats in the House Foreign Affairs committee criticized President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for "pushing for regime change in Venezuela"
Just yesterday fucking STEPHEN MILLER said that they’d follow court orders
So a lying liar who lies every day lied again yesterday. Big fucking whoop.
Additionally the separation of powers not just at the federal level but at the fact that states are independent (but not geopolitical) in almost everything they do.
Except for the fact that all other branches of the federal government and the majority of the states are not only deferring to the executive, but also compelling the other states to do so.
Your language is completely devoid of nuance and is not helpful in any way
I’m pointing out the objective reality, thus doing what little I can to combat harmful complacency and blind belief in the same broken system that the fascists got into power by exploiting.
You, on the other hand, are the equivalent of the Weimar Republic officials insisting that the safeguards of parliamentary rules will stop Hitler from taking over.
Unlike pointing out reality THAT’S incredibly unhelpful.
What do you want me to do?
Open your fucking eyes and stop insisting that others close theirs. I know it’s hard but, contrary to what you seem to think, the first step to solving the problem of unconstrained fascism is realizing that the usual constraints aren’t working.
What do you want me to do? Give up
FUCK no.
or understand whats happening in order to work against it.
Yes! That’s EXACTLY what I want you to do!
Cool. People should still vote
I never said they shouldn’t. What I’m saying is that doing so is not enough and might in fact not have any effect, depending on how far along the Project 25 election rigging is by next year.
We should still expect midterms
Demand? Yes. Take for granted? Absolutely not. You don’t win a fight by waving a rule book at the person assaulting you and trying to kill you.
we are constitutionally entitled to it.
Yes, but the fascists are blatantly ignoring the constitution. Pointing out that they’re not SUPPOSED to do so doesn’t stop them. Insisting to others that they’re GOING to is actively harmful.
do you just want us to roll over and let repubs keep control of Congress?
Again, that’s the opposite of what I want.
Actually, what are YOU doing?
As I also said earlier: I’m doing what little I can, which is to point out objective reality in order to combat harmful complacency.
