The check on the pardon power is that Congress, which is supposed to be composed of a large block of aggressive and violently ambitious local notables, would immediately impeach any president engaging in such an abuse of his power.

True, but I want to call your attention to a phrase in what you've written that I initially misread as a standalone thought:
"That platform delivered the most charismatic candidate in recent history."
People who hold sincere ideas may tend to be more radical, but they are also more passionate.

- you don't need to wait for an aesthetic famine to break out and fascists to arrive promising, like communists, to bring the people bread at any price- and the heads of those who had "stolen" it before.
Ultimately the people are owed a sense of meaning. Identity, too, is a public service. 6/6

The thing is, there are forces that control the present state of the diorama, and a sane political and cultural elite would engage with them directly. Confucius writes about the importance of "not neglecting the ceremonies". If aesthetics are in demand, they can be manufactured- 5/6

They refer all judgements to the diorama as presently constituted; the entire narrative of history is only meaningful in how it finds expression in this final product, to them. The british wear tweed and eat fish-n-chips; they do not wear hoodies and eat curry. It is written. 4/6

The aesthetic of britishness, as they understand it, has fish'n'chips, and somehow not curry. One is present in the diorama, and one is not. The historicity of either of these choices is utterly meaningless to them - not even disputed, but meaningless. They have their preferred diorama. 3/6

It's important to understand that what the right wants is not food or material goods, which are available in abundance, but a bath of aesthetics; the one good that is currently in shortage. 2/6

I do wonder when media outlets will get interested in ballooning everyday costs. My family's grocery bill has exploded over the past six months and - unlike when a Democrat is president - this is a non-story.
