All that's true. I think we do need to formalize unwritten rules into the Constitution. Though the problem is almost deeper b/c even the actual words are being ignored. We're in Animal Farm.

This is a frustrating period b/c it's hard to figure out the path forward

Democratic memory runs deep in America. It'll take time to dismantle institutions and people will only tolerate so much abuse after being used to so much freedom for generations.

We still have to push through some dark times, but it won't last

There's reason to hope. Despite global democratic backsliding, last year brought some good news. Tusk in Poland and the ousting of Shiekh Hasina and Bashar Assad. Sure, it's too early to say where those governments are going, but even entrenched autocrats fall.

Maybe BlueSky will buy the rights to the Twitter name since it's apparently worthless
