      If one more court strikes down Trump's Muslim ban, @HeerJeet's going to start saying the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.pic.twitter.com/TmqKD0ugCX

      Not really. The beauty of the theory: it's non-falsifiable. You can always say: the resistance won! The institutions worked! Und so weiter.

      If your example is the courts striking down horrific immigration orders, then I would have to say "institutions worked" is accurate.

          See? Perfect theory. He begins w/scary tweets, chilling effect, judges pulling punches. Oh, they don't pull punches? Institutions worked!

          Corey, is your disagreement with Jeet that you don't think Trump wants to grasp authoritarian power, or that you think it's impossible?

          I'm confused. Are you saying that it's irrational to assume that Trump might intimidate some members of the judiciary?

          I think that was clearly Trump's intent. But the court rulings against Trump are heartening evidence it didn't work.

          The mistake your making, Jeet, is thinking that Robin is actually interested in debate. But he's not. He just censors his critics.

          Robin just deletes his critics' comments from his website, and blocks them on Twitter and Facebook. Corey's a censorious, dishonest writer.
