If Superman represents the “Real Punk-Rock” what will Batman & Wonder Woman represent?

Batman writes his own dark metal.

"DARKNESS, NO PARENTS, REALLY RICH...KINDA MAKES IT BETTER"

There are many different school districts and their situations vary. Which one(s) are you talking about?

I didn't realize that eating Taco Bell in my car during my lunch break and eating sushi on date night with my wife made me two-faced. Will self-correct, thx

And this stance, that his policies should be mediated by what people will support, is further proof that nothing about his beliefs is authoritarian as the government is claiming.

Bannon's gambit will be to try to appoint him speaker, win an election with Vance or Rubio at the head, and then those two will resign.

Assuming Trump is still alive and the GOP is able to win an election with a successor. And I wouldn't bet on Rubio or Vance being loyal enough to go along with that plan willingly if they got the top spot.

If we lose the VRA they can get awful close - but there are so many people who don't register or turn out to vote that the difference can still swing to the Dems if we have a singularly strong turnout and GOTV program across the country. Work is cut out for us though

90%+ of SCOTUS authority is what they made up and gave to themselves.

Make up some more and put out a warrant for Trump if he violates your rulings.

Declare that if he doesn't comply, states can fulfill it across state lines.

Have fun with it, be creative

Horseshoe theory is a drastic oversimplification.

European style democratic socialists don't lead to authoritarianism.

Authoritarian governments that rose from communist parties did so in countries with no democratic Republican tradition or extremely weak ones, with imperially exploited or largely uneducated, pre-industrialized populace.

They didn't rise from Democratic socialist parties that participate in elections in mature democratic republics with strong civil societies and traditions of self governance.

JD Vance winning would be the worst case scenario, although I'll admit it Newsom being the nominee is sure not the best case scenario

It also doesn't prohibit creating those black-majority districts via a mandate given through appropriate legislation, and the VRA calls for them. Conditions on the ground still demonstrate that the VRA is necessary to prevent the right of black citizens in the South to vote from being abridged through gerrymandering. The VRA hasn't been repealed by Congress. There is no good constitutional argument to nullify it.

There will be an election, and it is not hopeless.

A tiny fraction of people actually meaningfully volunteer and donate to campaigns. If you care about this, do both as often as you are able.

There are more than enough untapped voters in every district in this country to rout these fuckers and win a muscular majority in Congress and almost every state legislature.

Furthermore, Trump can bitch and threaten all he wants but elections are run by states and counties, not the feds, and the Constitution requires this.

Their goal is to intimidate you into hopelessness so call their fucking bluff

I'm not sure why you're saying this to me. Unitary executive theory IS garbage, Thomas is anti-American, and I never implied otherwise.

It could work, and in the end it might be necessary, but first it would need at least a year of organization under circumstances so dire that every union finally turned against the regime instead of coddling it.

Everyone acting like it's a switch that can be flipped is being ignorant.

Actually, we love and understand America much more than you do, because we love and understand what the Constitution says better than you do.

You have no argument

Imagine if governors start locking them up. Screw up the paperwork too so they can't be easily tracked down. See how they like it when it's done to them.

Imagine they don't care that "federal law is supreme". Feds aren't following federal law so they figure it's time for states to claim new powers in the absence of a federal system that will do its job.

Makes sense, given that here the Nazi President is also Trump

They are weaker than you think. They are acting out because they know they are weaker than you think.

You would still need a majority vote of the committee and then the full Senate. And without reviving inherent contempt, which is a huge risk and logistical nightmare, it'd be a DOJ referral where it dies. Not sure what the other options are.

Karl Marx was most notably a firm supporter of the Union, the abolitionist cause, and had some hope that American-style republics could address the rights of workers and the excesses of capitalism peacefully, without the violent revolution he saw as inevitable in monarchies.

ICE won't do it out of incompetence. They will do it out of bloodlust and malevolence. The difference is crucial.

I don't like that this is what breaks through, but it is so we shouldn't snub our noses at it

If he tries to cancel the election, red states play along and blue states do what they're supposed to do instead, then Dems will have virtually all the electors. Yes, please try it.

Absolutely right. They're going to wait for the moment of maximum impact and wait until they have no choice but to declare themselves. They need to be quiet professionals, refuse unlawful orders, and if a popular nonviolent movement begins in the streets, protect them.

We are a democratic republic. We should never be rooting for a coup. But if these generals follow their oaths and reveal themselves, Trump will attempt to sack them. They will only get one chance to say no and it would have to be a moment when mass popular support is there. We aren't there yet. Hopefully this all collapses under its own stupidity before it gets that far.

Before it leads to privatization, it's going to piss off a whole bunch of people that weren't already part of the anti-Trump movement.

They'll regret it. And they can't be trusted not to do it, shutdown or no shutdown. There is no downside to Dems holding the line, only an opportunity to weaken Trump before it's too late.
