a clinical trial is something you conduct to see if a drug is safe, not something you conduct to "build evidence" that a drug should be banned.

okay, i thought "accidentally reprogramming grok to parrot boer revisionism in answer to random questions" was the funniest grok thing, but then it turned out "accidentally reprogramming grok to call itself mechahitler" was the actual funniest grok thing...

and cut "political norms" a break. they're real, and they serve a purpose. but like all social institutions, they're reciprocal. when anyone ignores them, they stop working for everyone. that's not their fault.

so cut the US constitution a break. it's a pretty good system of government! it's no worse than many others, and better than most. the problem here is the arseholes ignoring it.

and the fascist always thinks that delay will be just long enough to bed in, to assume enough control of all the systems of power that no-one will be able to oust them.

that's how fascism works. it's how it's always worked. there's a time delay between deciding to ignore the systems and do what you want, and everyone else throwing out the systems to get rid of you.

because it is, as they say in american politics, the nuclear option. because rising up in the streets, arresting the president and throwing him in jail, tossing out the supreme court and appointing a new one, will break the system. no-one will know if they can trust it not to happen again.

and when someone *does* do it - and often, they think themselves terribly clever for realising they can, like they've found a loophole no-one else knew about, rather than they've ignored the warning everyone else was smart enough not to need - it's hard to respond immediately

and that's why "political norms" (usually) work. because most people with some modicum of foresight realise that if we don't all pretend this flimsy façade of civilisation is real, then it all falls down. that's why most politicians, most governments, *don't* just ignore it, even though they could

and that's the road to civil war, to violent revolution, to a breakdown in the system. because if *they* won't respect the system, then why the heck should *you*? even if you somehow remove them without bloodshed, the next guy in charge will be free to ignore things as well, because why not?

the same applies here. it doesn't matter how well you have designed your system, it doesn't matter how carefully-written your constitution is, how many layers of checks and balances you put in: if the executive just ignores all of that, the only thing that will stop them is stopping them
