Fascism might give the rich a taste of power, but it’s a bitter pill that’ll choke them when the fascists come to collect their due.

I appreciate this piece in The Bulwark greatly. It makes the serious, moderate, cis-friendly case that trans rights are not a distraction or a trifle to be easily dispensed with.

We All Lose in Trump’s War Against Trans Americans
His cynical executive orders targeting trans people will harm important American institutions by taking away talent, energy, and the plain competence our country needs.

I'm surprised by this objection. At the moment, there's no swapping, because there's no nominee yet. The legal effect, including GOP court chicanery, will be the same whether (a) the delegates choose Biden, as they pledged; or (b) Biden releases them from their pledges and they choose Harris.

“Ocasio-Cortez claimed none of the people she’s spoken w/who are calling on Biden to drop out—including lawmakers and legal experts—have articulated a plan to swap out the nominee w/out minimizing the serious legal and procedural challenges that are likely to ensue.”

Who among us has not accepted millions in "gifts" from our friends while sitting in a top-level government position that decides issues affecting our friend's personal and financial interests?
They’re not “gifts.”
They’re bribes.
Clarence Thomas took $4 million in bribes from billionaires.
Everyone understands this, and yet he still holds a lifetime position as one of the most powerful people in our country.
Unrig the Supreme Court.

Trump asked Big Oil execs to give him $1 billion for his campaign.
He promised lower taxes and a rollback of Biden's climate regulations and clean energy programs in return.
Trump is literally willing to take bribes in exchange for the destruction of the planet.

In Florida, the top 1 percent pay only 2.7% of their incomes on taxes. The bottom 20 percent pay 13.2% of their income on taxes — nearly five times more. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged for the rich.
