Remember All Of This Is Happening Under The U.S. Constitution And The "Rule Of Law"

 such as those really are in real life.

We are at the stage of fascist takeover where the values slogans of even the Nancy Pelosis and Joe Bidens aren't going to help.  The "institutionalism" that was peddled by the virtuous lawyers of MSNBC have been pushed into the Patomac and drowned.   It proved to be not much use in the past four years.   This is the greatest crisis in American democracy in its history, worse than in 1861 BECAUSE THEN IT WAS THE PRESIDENT AND THE CONGRESS WHO WERE ON THE SIDE OF DEMOCRACY AND THIS TIME THEY ARE ALL IN ON THE NATIVE FASCISM THAT THE CONFEDERACY CHAMPIONED.  

This time the traitors ARE THE CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER, THOSE DEFINING "THE RULE OF LAW."   

Lincoln could use the Federal government to fight against white supremacist government and treason, they've got control of the federal government this time.  Just as they have for the entire antebellum period, during the long Jim Crow period and ever since Republican-fascism has been resurgent in the backlash against the long struggle for equality and economic justice in the brief period in which that made some headway.  

This is the worst it's been since at least the lowest period before 1861 and I hold it's arguably worse because they're stealing everything as they destroy democracy.   And they've got the entire federal government now, especially the Roberts Court.
