Just thinking about where stability currently lies using heuristic "if you have to protest that you have Authority you really probably dont"

Big problem with the Trump administration is he trashed Presidential /auctoritas/ within a few months of taking office Whatever other political virtues he has the dude never learned how to wield or even possess /dignitas/ which I suspect is a cornerstone of legitimacypic.twitter.com/jatmkUiAj0

Remember when everyone in eg old media was complaining about how hes Unpresidential Thats what they meant

This translates to a problem if he wins again in the sense that i dont see him somehow attaining broad legitimacy in his second term Its not even hard to do,,,, if your not Trump Bougie people wanna worship the office He just cant play the role its never been in him

So sucks for him but mostly sucks for everyone who wants a modicum of stability

Idk who else could fill the suit though Who even has notable dignitas in America today? Biden doesnt have energy or heft imo Romney maybe, on the center right Most civil rights leaders on the left are dead or too old to convey power Maybe Bezos but he's not running

I think we get stability again once we find someone with dignitas. look at our political class and Contemplate this on the Tree of Woe

sometimes hard to tell w/this which institutions have authority and which ones are silently suffering (which imo has been the strat for most bureaucracies under the admin--don't make waves)
