do you remember where you read that?

damn that's absolutely wild

look, article 69 clearly states that if the president goes a little cray-cray and tries to mass murder his political opponents with an angry mob, the speaker, veep, and CJCS are allowed to just vibe it out for a bit until somebody notices

I kind of think not. Just look at Wikipedia - they've got everything leading up to Jan 6th, but nothing on Pence-Pelosi-Milley in the aftermath.

it's especially concerning because it suggests a willingness to follow illegal orders among some elements of military leadership, which to me raises questions about how exactly they would behave if asked to do similar on US soil or against US citizens.

what if the firehose of fascist shit isn't wiping out the memory of the electorate? what if it's just hitting different things? and idk it seems like a persisting problem to me that dems aren't in lockstep with and fully tied to no kings, possibly the biggest social movement in american history

that one I found especially striking because dems are barely acknowledging that issue, and even on bluesky, the supposed deranged leftwing bubble, it is maybe a b-tier issue for people to post about, very much eclipsed by ice raids

things take time to percolate but truly the weirdest shit keeps percolating and resonating. I interviewed a super normie at no kings last time and he had a sign joking about being antifa and the number one thing he was mad about off the top of his head was venezuelan boat strikes

i really really really really think we are delivering on terrible, society destroying, applications of AI at about 10x the rate of "economically useful, liberatory, activity for normies"
