This is what the phrase "cut off your nose to spite your face" was created to describe. How did this work out the first time around? Did it bolster the left's recruitment efforts so much that they became the kingmakers poised to win big majorities and revolutionize society top to bottom at the end of his term? No, it did not. Did it instead directly result in the composition of the Supreme Court that may actually agree with Amazon's argument in this case? Yes, it did. The second time around would be just the same. You'd find yourself surprised by the apparent complacency of most people in not taking up your cause, while seeing things you care about get worse in tangible ways.

You'd find yourself surprised by the apparent complacency of most people in not taking up your cause, while seeing things you care about get worse in tangible ways. Would be even worse. Even for Trump's audacity, he still had to at least vaguely attempt to be re-electable for a second term. If he's re-elected now, no such "restraint" on his excess (and I shudder to think what he will attempt to do as the end of the second term approaches in the realm of whether he actually wants it to end - this is the man who openly admires dictators and says he aspires to be one).
