The point is not that we should preserve it because it’s a great system that doesn’t need to be fixed, the point is that if we just let it go in the hopes that it will be replaced with something better, we lose protections that many people are blissfully unaware they have.
I’m asking this not to judge or attack anyone that doesn’t agree, but as legitimate questions. Let’s say we just agreed to let it all go and give up the rights that many people argue we already don’t have.
Why do you think the judge that they arrested is not sitting in jail right now?
When the woman in New Orleans was deported along with her children last week, why do you think ICE abruptly ended her call with her husband when he tried to give her the contact information for a lawyer?
Why do you think Trump is even bothering to get the supreme court to rule in his favor when he tries to violate laws in order to trigger another constitutional crisis?
Why would he bother with any legal steps? If he truly is as untouchable as he believes himself to be, why wouldn’t he just save himself the time and energy?
We very well might see him reach the point when he says that he will no longer bother, but he’s already steadily losing public support (and more importantly his donors are losing money as the public also turns against them).
Once he loses enough support and money, he knows he’s pretty fucked. It’s fucking disgusting he was ever allowed to reach this point to begin with a d continue to receive support.
That doesn’t change the fact that saying ok you’re right, we don’t need these laws because they were never effective enough in the first place, allows him to skip ahead and reach the point where he can do all of these things without worrying about public opinion.
If it was working trump would have been in jail right after Jan 6th. They found the weakness
There are a lot of weaknesses, that’s the issue.
