We can trace the current Republican law-breaking to Nixon.
When we didn’t put Nixon in jail, it sent the message that lawbreaking is accepted as long as a Republican is president.
The Republicans involved in Iran-Contra got off scot free. We haven’t even bothered investigating Bush Jr’s torture.

America deserves to be ruled by laws.
That will require standing up to the criminal conspiracy that is the modern Republican Party. Including its representatives on the Supreme Court.
But it also means standing up to a Democratic Party that fears enforcing laws might cost them votes & donations.

It's not that we can't afford for human rights and welfare like decent healthcare, it's that we can't get people to pay sufficient tax to do so. We saw exactly this same pattern of increasing populism with increasing inequality long before there was an Internet, in the late 1800s through WWI.
