The Great Greenberg

Who are those people behind Vance that look like Stepford husbands?

It could be spurious, some other factor, such as the path dependent development path the south took.

You mean humanoid robots i assume.

And if you lose your Green Card because you have to carry it every day everywhere...

They can override a veto with enough votes.

Isn't it an arc?

Can you smuggle in a saw.

Due to climate change, most folks only iron their ties now so as not to stain the grid, unless they have a wind- or solar-powered iron.

Even most authoritarians don't try to destroy state capacity or wipe out various industries on purpose.

Yeah but they do seem pretty minor compared to the way criming is institutionalized in this administration.

I would also add that what you describe sounds more like the person who designed the processing procedures is an idiot rather than those implementing the procedures.

Bad, as you will no longer be able to get Canadian bacon.

I need my Canadian bacon! It's just one nutty thing after another.

This almost seems corrupt.

I thought this paper was right wing?

Did anyone really say we need to knock down a chunk of the White House for a dance hall? This is cartoon villain stuff. Robin: Holly Mackrel Batman, look what the Joker has done now!

I used to study 80s authoritarianism in Southern Africa and the parallels in terms of authoritarianism, corruption, and tribalism are scary.

I don't think so. It's time to get engaged and organized. Join a civic group that supports a cause you are interested in, your church, etc. Change doesn't happen by itself. Authoritarianism falls when there are strong civic society organizations that works for it.
