    The rule of law has ceased to exist in the US. It has been replaced by the rule of power.

    You either get used to no longer have rights, or you can start to get them back.

      Yup.

      Those of us with functional brains kept telling everyone else without that it can and will happen here. They didn’t think so.

      Now it’s happening here.

      It’s a slow boil, so people will keep denying. But hey, women don’t have the same rights they had a few years ago. Now due process is gone. What’s next?

        Now to be precise those women’s rights were taken away legally as they were not codified anywhere in a lasting manner.

          Well yeah.

          A lot of what the Nazis did was legal, too.

          Particularly at the beginning when they started passing laws to persecute Jews and other minorities. All done legally.

          Like when the U.S. didn’t let women or blacks vote or own land. All legal.
