Oh look. Another violation of our Constitution.
Hope everyone is well aware that our Constitution is basically toilet paper now.
The collapse of our democracy is imminent.
Imminent?
Hmm.. I think it has already happened and we are just in there awkward lull as we await the consequences to start rolling in...
This is what the enemies of American democracy want you to think so that you stop voting, stop fighting, stop caring, and just submit.
That American Democracy has failed is debatable.
That it can be revived is not.
I would not advocate surrender to authoritarianism - but I would urge we all take an unflinchingly look at the systemic failures within our existing governmental system that allowed it to take root and (ultimately) to come to power. We are better equipped to resist after assessing our current situation and understanding how it was that we came to be here.
