Way too much of how our institutions function was built on the honor system. And now it’s too late to harden those safeguards
If only we had 4 years to adjust and prepare
I think a lot of It was written with the implied "and if they don't somebody will just shoot them"
What if I told you they were always corrupt, and Trump is just too brazen to hide it?
I wouldn’t completely disagree although I would say he cranked the corruption to 11 more than anyone previously
Of course he's going to go ham this season. Why wouldn't he? He was never held to account for any of the corruption and crime during his first term. The new Trump admin won't be like the last one where some people were able to obstruct the most ridiculous requests. I predict we will nuke at least one hurricane in the coming 4 years.
I'd say you're assuming modern context.
The institutions were created centuries ago by the constitution.
It was written with a presumption of a certain kind of honor. One that's no longer shared by modern sensibilities.
I believe that's what cmbabul was referring to.
to further support this: there was a time when republicans would decline in disgrace.
