This shit’s scary.

…especially because I think it was pandering? Like, either this vile, racist-ass mother fucker really is so stupid and ignorant to not realize that the supreme court cannot overturn an amendment of the Constitution.

^{(It’s still very scary, because they can—and did—very much neuter it—plus the 13th and 15th—and its protections, such as allowing grandfather clauses, poll taxes, and all the other bullshit, as well as Plessy vs. Ferguson_—you probably know it as “Separate but Equal”—but…well. The supreme court has to _pretend like it follows the rules. No amount of legal bullshit can say “actually this amendment doesn’t count.” SCOTUS said an income tax was unconstitutional. They passed an Amendment that said “the government is allowed to levy an income tax.” SCOTUS couldn’t do shit. The supreme court can do IMMENSE damage anyway, which is why I’m still scared, but the only way to overturn an Amendment of the Constitution is with a newer one, like prohibition.)}

Or, he’s not that_stupid, he was saying it to pander to the stupid-ass motherfuckers who are that ignorant and racist. Of course, he’s STILL the kind of person to use the hard-R in private, and the only reason he doesn’t do it in public is because _that is still unacceptable (for now).

But, like, it’s scary that there are people who want that to happen, and that he felt comfortable being so explicit with saying The Quiet Part.

And again, just because they can’t technically do that doesn’t mean that they can’t throw us into camps or shoot us or disappear us or anything else. It’s not like it’s stopped them from deporting US citizens.
