    If this means a government “of the people, for the people, by the people” that maintains a monopoly on violence to ensure no one is above the law/Constitution, then I disagree.

    Given that the US was never that, obviously that isn’t what it means.

    If this means a puppet state that the “elite” holds oligarchal control over, but maintain whatever facade of democracy they need to, then I agree. But I would not call that the US govt.

    Incredible. No notes.

    But if the structure of “government” that we end up with is completely powerless against them, then it’s objectively not the US anymore

    Fucking incredible
