What are you prepared to do to stop it? The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday all but guaranteed this country has dictatorship in its future. If not under “your favorite president,” as Trump the imperial might say, then under another, smarter, more skilled autocrat. “[T]his ruling is a brazen and dangerous expansion of presidential power in ways that entrench a deep climate of impunity,” constitutional scholar Aziz Rana tells The Ink. But you knew that. Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen report at Axios that if elected Trump will “immediately test the boundaries of presidential and governing power.” (What boundaries?) Axios: There’s more if you have the stomach for it. This toxic, authoritarian movement, for all it’s flag-waving and pretensions to patriotism, is anything but American. And never was. It is a knife to the throat of this republic. There are people in this country who want a dictator and a one-party state. Some of them wear black robes and accept bribes. But the bribes are just a perk. They are true believers in something other than the Constitution they are tasked for life with interpreting. Monday made it all that much more chilling. But at the end of election night we still count votes, not age or ideology. Best you round up as many as you can before Trump 2.0 starts rounding you up. Oh, and MAGA? Turn in your flags. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● For The Win, 5th Edition is ready for download. Request a…
