I have no doubt the Rubicon will be crossed this year, probably already has.

I'm preparing for a war on American soil, by "Americans" or whatever they're going to call themselves - MAGA I guess.



"John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it."

The thing is, even if Trump said something similar, I think we'd still keep going about things in the same ho-hum way we are now. Left-wing newspapers will have headlines, Fox will have nothing, and Democratic congresspeople will have some kind of protest. Maybe there will be marches in a few big cities.

I honestly think nothing will rise to the level of an actual crisis until the military is ordered to do something that some percentage of officers refuse to comply with.


One or more states may choose to intervene. That is terrifying as it may trigger a civil war.


Trump ignoring court orders is the last straw, really. And he's doing that today. We have a president hell-bemt on destroying America, and no, that isn't hyperbole. I'm not sure how you think we'll have business-as-usual with the dismantling of the US government.


> And he's doing that today.

Indeed.

> I'm not sure how you think we'll have business-as-usual

Are you seeing general strikes? Chaos in the streets? Democratic congresspeople being successful at stopping anything? The Supreme Court stepping in?

No, none of those. Trump went and had fun at the Superbowl last night, and some editorials wrung their hands over Vance saying that Trump doesn't need to obey the courts. Most people in the country are ignoring what they see as some typical partisan bickering.
