The courts won’t save us from the creeping authoritarianism. The election may not save us. But we have got to try both. Don’t give in to despair.

Good economic news forces the GOP to switch narrative to the border. There must be fear! (msn.com)
Hello citizens of this amazing nation that President Joe Biden has singlehandedly burned down and made terrible!
We realize that for many months we have asked you to pay attention to the economy and be hopping mad at Biden and his “Bidenomics” for making everything so horrible.
Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.
Well, now we have a different request. Please DO NOT pay any attention whatsoever to the economy and instead focus entirely on the crisis along our southern border. Do not glance at how the stock market is doing, and under no circumstances check your 401(k) balances.
Economy is good, so we need you to worry about the border
Instead, you should be living in existential fear that at any moment, a swarm of violent migrants released from South American mental-health facilities will take over your home and enslave you.
Why the sudden change in focus? Well, it appears wokeness has infiltrated the economy, cynically causing the Commerce Department to report strong economic growth. That report – presumably written by socialists or possibly Marxists – drove headlines like “The U.S. economy grew at blistering 3.3% pace in Q4 while inflation pulled back” and “US economy grew at a shocking pace in the fourth quarter” and “US growth shatters expectations, boosting Biden’s economic pitch.”
LOOK AWAY FROM THE ECONOMY, REPUBLICAN PATRIOTS!
To that end, please immediately pull your attention away from economic news and allow yourself to grow angrier and angrier about the border crisis.
What exactly is happening at the border? Oh, lots of things. Chaos! Murder! Hordes! More murder! Any fear you might have or any problem for which you need a scapegoat, it can be found down there.
And it’s all Biden’s fault, because when President Donald Trump was in office there were ZERO problems at the border. You know that’s true because we stopped talking about it while he was president. Trust us.

My hunch is that trumps is much weaker a candidate than the past two elections. I do think democracy will save us. I could be wrong, of course. But I don’t see a rerun of ‘16 at all.

I hope you’re right. But my own “naah Trump will never win” predictions in 2016 have left me scarred. I hope you’re right.

Why do you have such a screwed up court system?
Answer–This is the end result of Leonard Leo and Moscow Mitch packing the courts with every fascist from the Federalist Society they could get their hands on.
