    Sorry but this sounds a lot like the boilerplate “but our norms!” stuff that has dominated the Barnes and Noble best-sellers rack for 2+ years. Which “institutions” in particular, and why should we have any fidelity to them in the first place?pic.twitter.com/j1SNvrB06x

        Also the “inciting division” complaint is reminiscent of Russia alarmism, as if no one would be “divided” but for cynical malefactors intervening. “Division” is a necessary feature of electoral politics.

        When she said "melting down our institutions" I first thought of the EPA and the deregulation that has effectively rendered it an idle agency.

        really, i thought of the apparatchik in the ic, without whom endless war, perpetual surveillance & the plutocracy of the banksters wouldn't be possible. it's like a rorschach test of a tweet i guess.

        Sorry, but you sound like a libertarian asking, what institution, when you very well know there's more in the public sector then law enforcement.

        Trump inciting division? Anyone that makes that statement and believes it needs to check themselves in for mental health help. It’s rich that the “resistance” and the ones that refuse to accept election results blame incitement on Trump.

        Because corrupted democratic norms and institutions are still preferable to their absence. You know, like those norms and laws that allow for you to continue to critique the government without being dragged away in the middle of the night and thrown in a deep, dark hole.

        Well that's the genius of it, leftists think of the institutions they *do* like (labor department, EPA, HUD, whatever), liberals think of "the norms", & everyone feels like she's speaking for them. It's good politics but you're right that it's not particularly deep or meaningful.

        I'd guess the EPA would be her main focus/institution which he has significantly changed. As well as travel ban and the more aggressive ICE under Trump.

        As for books Sigmund Freud’s “The Psychopathology of Everyday Life” would be a good book to read to understand Trump Derangement Syndrome Only $1.99 on Nook or Kindle so cheaper than a gallon of gas Written ~120 years ago but still relevant to the Left and media #MAGA 🇺🇸

        Why should we not trust these institutions? Relative to institutions in all countries around the world, how do you think they would rank? I understand wanting to better them but I don’t get the need to demolish them. Our institutions are good enough to be preserved.

        She is a politician and therefore sounds like one. I know she is supposed to be some kind of Democratic socialist rock star, but ultimately she is still a politician
