Chuck Schumer has finally intimated he may actually DO SOMETHING about the current political situation. Whether he actually does, and if so, whether he stands his ground or folds like cheap suit, is yet to be seen.
I hate to say "I told you so", but I told you so. Democratic party politicians have needed to DO THINGS, not write "stongly worded letters", for a long time now. Even Minnesota Governor Walz has been sending out sternly worded press releases and soundbites today - for jebus' sake, you're the governor. You don't say "Somebody should do something!". You get on with it, and you DO SOMETHING.
A 2-post thread I did last April. It was already clear to me that the slide into fascism was complete; it wasn't something they could work to prevent at that point.
I weep for the American experiment, and the good American people. The MAGAs, accurately described by Ken White as "shitty people, shitty values, shitty culture", can get fucked.

Drastically put, but exactly, alas.
As I summed up something I had written more than 2 years ago:
👉The #UnitedStates have a built-in systemic error: they were built as a #SlaverNation:👈
This error is engrained in virtually all #US institutions. One *could* even argue that the #SystemicRacism is an incurable, possibly even fatal flaw of the #AmericanExperiment..."

...if not the prime reason why the #AmericanExperiment has been derailed, at least:

That was the end of the USA democratic republic AIUI.
It had always been patchy.
But it was ripped apart then.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
And all the king's horses,
and all the king's men,
couldn't put Humpty together again.
Trite, juvenille and altogether too fitting.
That was 40 days ago.
And a special shoutout to media baron #RupertMurdoch for his contribution to the #AmericanExperiment.
