Even if it had a 30% chance of passing in the senate (which it doesn't), it has a 0% chance of even being voted on in the House, and another 0% of being sign by Trump. Multiply anything by zero, and you still get zero, Angus. So no, it's not better than before.

This. This is what people mean by “there is no law anymore”. It doesn’t literally mean to ignore the law and just give up. It’s a call for those who are responsible for ENFORCING the law to actually do it. As of now, that’s not happening.

I also see a lot of people posting about so-called legal wins, only for them to get overturned by SCOTUS. It gives a lot of people false hope that the rule of law will prevail. At the moment, it clearly isn't. The Trump regime is openly breaking the law and nobody is holding them accountable.

Okay, so it's illegal. Now what? Should we make it extra super double mega illegal, and then they won't be able to do it?

I think the sentiment people are expressing here is frustration that nobody is *enforcing* the laws

The frustration is that we often interpret those posts as “calm down, it’s illegal, SO he can’t do it”. And then he does it…with zero consequences. So instead of simply alerting folks to what the law is, pair it with a msg of resistance & actionable advice.

I think the problem is not with the pointing out, but with the lack of remedy. We're surrounded by talking heads who seem happy to point out day after day how things aren't working, but are silent when it comes to proposing solutions.

Aka, the words on the paper are effectively useless when those words are not backed up by actions.

Again: there is effectively no law when the law is unable to hold Trump & accomplices accountable. They’re getting away with everything. This is about outcomes - not just what’s on paper.
