    I think this essay is right--The left simply doesn't quite get just how committed reactionaries are to repealing the last century and more of progress. But they are very, extremely committed and they control the judiciary more every day.http://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2019/05/radical-reactionaries …

        Or the reactionaries will just have enough of the US population disenfranchised, imprisoned or killed to stay in control. I don't think most Americans are currently capable of imagining what could happen.

        I would argue in counterpoint that a significant portion of the Left DOES get it, but the Left Who Speaks The Loudest (which is mostly white and male) doesn’t hold it high up on the totem pole right now.

        Didn't really read it, but it's both. Some just want all the money. But eventually the money isn't enough and it's about the consolidation of power. Which, really, is the same as the consolidation of money. So I guess once you equate the two their activism makes a lot more sense.

        A good reason not to have a system that gives the courts the ultimate power to decide the law.

        Many mainstream liberals don’t realize the degree to which their conservative friends from law school or friends who are staffers for conservative staffers are horrible assholes

        This is why it is SO important not to take for granted that just replacing the POTUS in the 2020 election will take the nation to the status quo ante. The left NEEDS to articulate the equitable, inclusive, sustainable vision of the United States.pic.twitter.com/9sCoiff2Y8
