The peril of the #DualState lies precisely in this capacity for targeted suppression. [Many]…people can ignore the construction of the #PrerogativeState simply because it does not touch their lives. They can turn away while dissidents & scapegoats lose their political #liberty. But once the prerogative state is built, as Fraenkel’s writing & experience suggest, it can swallow anyone.

The CEOs who paid for & attended #Trump’s second inauguration can look forward to the courts being open for the ordinary business of #capitalism. So, too, can many citizens who pay little attention to politics expect to be unscarred by the #PrerogativeState. The normal criminal-justice system, if only in [Trump perceived] *nonpolitical* cases, will crank on. Outside the American prerogative state, much will remain as it was. The #NormativeState is too valuable to wholly dismantle.
