- hedora 4mo agoMost people in my social circles that do not feel the US is in an existential crisis are first generation immigrants. They see the checks and balances that we used to have, and assumed those structures would constrain the administration to mostly tow the line. On the one hand, it’s true they came from places with weaker institutions. On the other hand, they’re used to leaders that face real threats of coup, asset seizure, assassination, etc. The current US administration has publicly stated it is permanently above the law, and it has also dismantled most checks and balances.
- yacin 4mo agoI basically have the opposite reaction from my first gen immigrant social circle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Also, unless they're ignoring/ignorant of the checks & balances falling apart, I'm not sure this bolsters OPs implied point.
