25 Years After Bush v. Gore, Supreme Court and Election Law Still Feel the Fallout
The 5–4 decision started a long slide in public approval for the court, accentuated by a widening partisan gap.

That’s where the culture wars come in handy. Distract people with fear so that they tolerate the money grab from tax policies that favor the wealthy and deregulation of consumer protections.
America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Great points in this thread: We don't usually think of 1965 immigration act as on par w/New Deal and Civil Rights, but it was a major liberal achievement and Miller's real project is to undo it. As @larryglickman.bsky.social says this connects w/goal of undoing other great 20th century achievements:
Finally had a chance to read this Incredible piece by @gregsargent.bsky.social that documents Miller’s attempt to undo and reverse the 1965 immigration settlement and reveals how central this effort is to the administration’s reactionary aim to take down the New Deal and civil rights orders.

A central point of great replacement theory is the “Scum” are destroying “our country.” This point allows the authoritarian to frame the regime as protective and restorative. So the people will desire authoritarianism and despise the “Scum.”

The current structure also forces tax payers to bear the burden of emergency treatment of those who are uninsured because of the high cost of health insurance. Having them within the same insurance fold would also contribute to overall reduction in healthcare costs.
