There will be no reform, only destruction.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoWe’ll build it back up. This too shall pass.
- taylodl 2y agoIt is a fallacy to assume you can easily rebuild what you've destroyed, especially if the destroyers are still around and fully intending to destroy it again.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoI never said it would be easy. I admit it might not even be possible. Exceptional damage and harm might occur, to both institutions and the citizenry, before we can right the ship. We are in an objectively terrible situation. I’m advocating for a mental model where we don’t give up, and we are always prepared to exert maximum force against leverage when the opportunity presents itself. To resign one’s self that the situation is entirely futile is not only unproductive, but intellectually boring. Are we not in search of interesting problems to solve for?

- aorloff 2y agoThe real destruction will no doubt be in the courts. Vivek and Elonsky will push the boundaries as far as they can, and Trump will not enforce anything. Someone else will sue, and maybe somewhere someone will have standing. It will start to get interesting when SCOTUS has to face the monster they've created.
