      The current goal of the right is the erosion of state power to cede control to a corpo-feudal model. It would be playing into their hands.

      What they need to do is enforce the fucking rules. Literally just letting Reich wankers get away with anything because they’re scared of retaliation or don’t want to set a precedent of enforcing the law on the political class.

      Edit: Ok so Jamal Bowman (D-NY) might have read your post.

        When they don’t play by the rules, they make it a game where nobody else should play by the rules.
