      Yeah, they are actually just seeing how far they can go by now. This is a direct “Fuck you” right in our faces.

        Historically that’s not true. We have had disastrous governments and Supreme Courts in the past, and yet the country somehow survived. It’s just that they do so much damage while they’re around.

        And just because things held together in the past is no guarantee that they will hold together in the future.

        Rather than saying that the system has failed us, I think it’s more accurate to say that the system has been failing the vast majority of Americans for many years.
