I think the resistance to this idea is currency bias. Many people just can't envision something different. They falsely assume you can go back. I mean a weaker federal gov is a middle ground but I don't see that happening as both parties will not weaken the executive branch.
I kinda chuckle at conservatives that are running victory laps now. Do they not think about the next time a dem wins and uses the same powers to reverse all these changes... I chuckle at the dems for doing the same thing. Freaking out about Trump while seeking to give the state more power over their lives.
It is so obviously stupid. If it were abstracted outside of the nation state people could actually have a chance to see it.
What I'm loving right now, and certainly hope Dems do in retaliation, are all the revelations of misconduct.
Executive orders can all be undone, but there's no way to put this toothpaste back in the tube.

Yeah... 100%.
I need more time but I have a lot of thoughts about the opportunities for opening minds right now all over the spectrum. At least for those that have ears to hear.
So many things are being revealed. We've been through one phase of this during Covid and this feels very similar to me.
