> If anything, what is happening in the US is exactly the opposite: Trump, who won the popular vote, therefore a representative of the oppressed majority, is waging a war against their oppression (as masses seems it) by the authoritarian deep state.
Countries have laws that govern how they are nominally meant to operate.
When the ruler of a country breaks the laws that are supposed to constrain his behavior, and faces no consequences, what do you call that?
- raxxorraxor 1y agoGovernments that were not considered authoritarian have broken laws as well. This didn't start with Trump, I would say Trump is a result of laws being ignored. For the fight against terrorism or any other shit de jours that caused the current outrage. So now any reference to laws sound hollow. It doesn't mean anything. What mattered is what governments used their power for.
