Laurence Tribe, one of our nation’s top constitutional scholars, has been asking the question here, in one way or another, for many years. Sadly, it doesn’t seem like there is an answer in the offing.
Yes, 56% of Americans believe that Trump is in the process of becoming a dictator, but 41% believe that he needs more power if he to succeed in making America great again.
Perhaps more importantly, the Republicans in Congress do not seem to be backing away from the sociopathic criminal the White House. It’s unclear to me how they live with themselves, knowing that they are the ones who are going to ultimately responsible for turning the United States into the next North Korea, Russia, China, Turkey, Hungary, or any of the other 50+ authoritarian regimes on planet Earth.
We have starving veterans living in our streets and dying of treatable diseases.
Sure, the MAGA crowd hated gays and loves divisiveness, but is naming a month for our vets is the very best we can do for them?
Thomas Sowell is not an idiot, and thus he must know that no one wants a social order in which everyone’s lives turn out the same. Does anyone truly believe that drug addicts, morons, and lazy slobs should enjoy the same fruits of prosperity as temperate and diligent people?
It would be nice, however, if all of us had equal opportunity for success. If you’re interested, Google “equity vs. equality.”
One of the tragedies of life in America today is rhetoric that is deliberately designed to cloud our thinking with fallacious logic. He should be ashamed of himself.
It’s said that those who act decently because they fear the wrath of God and being sent to hell in the afterlife are simply terrible people on a leash. That speaks to me.
