Trump is elected and everybody suddenly start caring about civil rights
If Trump wins the next election, take that as the signal of the point of no return. It happened to Rome, it can happen to America.
He can't run again.
Legally speaking, I think an outright challenge to the 22nd amendment will be interesting. As a 20th century amendment the language is pretty clear. But once again we look to what would actually enforce it?

I generally think this is another of many absurd case of cry bullying, that there's basically no problem here, just that people want to feel bad for themselves & to excuse actual bad acts.
I just don't see that real problem or harm was done to people over disinformation. Meta talked with some people at HHS, and people are flipping their shit that the government talked with social networks, but it seems like a grade a nothingburger from cry bullies, with the big fat 0 of actual interesting claims that the incredibly shallowly obvious manufactured outrage that the Twitter Files amounted to.

I understand why these things have to be posted, but I would be lying if I said that I wasn't utterly exhausted by the constant shit that the Trump administration is spitting at us. I mean, I get it, bad shit needs to be reported on, the Trump admin does a lot of bad shit, it makes sense, but it's just extremely tiring.

One inferred point of the article is that eroding the first amendment makes the rest less imposing to circumvent.
I find it remarkable that Americans are ok with rule by executive order instead of rule by congressional law. I also find it fascinating that no federal judge has held any Trump administration officers in contempt or imposed sanctions/bans on officers who are continuously hurting constitutional rights. I assume that Americans have been sleeping at the wheel, unaware of the threat of slide into fascism. But is the vot…
American voters no longer agree on what made America special.
Are voters willing to strike until the President resigns? Or are people ok with the country being sold to third world style corruption that is happening right in front of their faces?

Trump had allegedly fired people responsible for FOIA but at the same time we are finally seeing documents that the DOJ and FBI have been slow walking for almost 8 years or longer. Some examples, file metadata for Seth Rich's laptop, and obviously files related to the JFK assassination.
