Nowadays I feel that the US is incapable of pulling itself out of its institutional death spiral. There are a very simple series of steps and concessions that would pacify people and make capitalism healthier, more stable, and more profitable, but politics is so completely fucked that it literally cannot take those steps (like the one you suggest) in the way it used to be able to.
It's like a scared animal with its head stuck in a plastic jug of treats. It could stop eating the treats, take a second to calm down, and pull its head out. But it's just an animal. It will die instead.
ive been betting on this 100% happening really ever since. covid began. i feel like there was a noticeable shift in terms of just what became tolerated by the public, and how far fascists would take things to get what they wanted…. no one i said anytjing to about this took me seriously
I did not think the US would fall apart in the near future

:inshallah-script:
Alternatively: we acknowledge the supreme court as an illegitimate body, and tell them to fuck off Andrew Jackson style.
...I'm not gonna bet on either ATM.
