the idea that unions and the organized 'working class' can shape policy outcomes in the US took a body blow and not enough people have recognized that
the left has no formal power at the moment. if you convince everyone Trump is an unconstrained autocrat and not an illegitimate usurper, *you lose*
A problem I’m seeing with a lot of leftists right now is that they seem to want to use this democratic breakdown as an opportunity to win an argument with libs by showing that constitutionalism is a big fraud, when in reality we desperately need to be protecting and reasserting constitutionalism

Murphy: "The reality is this could get dystopian very quickly. If you were to start speaking ill of Elon Musk on social media, Musk might be able to stop or delay your tax refund, or your mom's Social Security benefit, in part because we have no window into what's happening at Treasury right now."

I guarantee you there'd be a military coup before this shit happens, especially if it is Greenland or Canada. it would be a revolt.
so we're going to annex gaza, greenland and canada, take the panama canal, possibly invade mexico at the same time we're going to close all of our federal offices, cancel all of our military contracts and launch a future trade war against the entire north american continent
