    The first amendment and the rest of the constitution is only as valid as it is enforced.

    The legal justice system has allowed Trump to shit all over the law with zero consequences (other than some showy mugshot and pony-show bullshit like that) thus far.

    The armada of military personnel and federal employees who’ve sworn an oath to defend the constitution from all threats foreign and domestic, have yet to step up.

    The only route to justice with even a shred of possibility of actually happening is if the next guy doesn’t fucking miss… and there aren’t many people willing to gamble their life/freedom on taking that shot. There likely aren’t any people left who’re willing to take that shot. But that fantasy is the basket holding every single one of our eggs.

    Tldr, the law doesn’t mean shit, and we’re most likely fucked.
