My takeaway from the elections yesterday is that it’s one thing to be unpopular and have a large portion of the media apparatus desperate to pretend that’s not the case but it’s another thing to be unpopular and have that be an undeniable fact

Sweep storming in late autumn brown,
And horror the sodden valley fills,
And the spire falls crashing in the town,

The tempest bursting from the wastes of Time
On the world’s fairest hope linked with man’s foulest crime.

As the Supreme Court term begins, keep this framework in mind: Autocratic Legalism.
Instead of “rule of law” (law constrains the power), we get “rule by law” (law as a weapon for power).
Authoritarians usually have to install allies. Trump started his second term with that step already complete.
