This is why a new party needs to be built from the ground up, starting with local races that are uncontested or use ranked choice voting already.

The problem there is I think the legislature there actually went against the President to stop him. In America the legislature is happy to go along with Trump.

Well considering a lot of the discussion on here is around tech and specifically Linux that doesn’t surprise me. Very online tech people usually aren’t that interested in sports.

The real interesting question to me is how do you even really prevent something like this from happening? If every elected official decides the law doesn’t matter who is left to enforce it on them? I feel like the only real options are the military stepping in when bad things are happening but that’s a very slippery slope to normalize that or having powerful unions that can actually lead general strikes when these kinds of things happen. But atleast in the US unions have been beaten down so much that that isn’t really an option so what is left really?

Would be nice but congress is Republican controlled and for any court related stuff it could just go up to the supreme Court and be ruled Trump’s way. Or just flat out ignored cause who is gonna stop him if he just ignores court rulings.
