I think "fine" and "you can ignore laws" aren't precisely identical in all cases.


“fine” and “you can enact any law you want on people because you are not accountable to them” also isn’t really the same.

(Not that trump’s accountability is particularly high… but there’s some hope he’ll be gone in 4 years, whereas the situation is different in china)


Please don’t normalize the idea of elimination of nearly century-long term limits that are there for good reasons.


I 100% agree that the biggest damage Trump has done (so far) is normalizing a new (toxic/noxious) behavior for politicians.

And everyone in the US should try to remember, every day, that this is NOT normal, and it should not become the new normal.

I was being provocative a bit, to help remember it CAN get worse and we shouldn’t just ride it out.
