Yes and no.
There is sufficient evidence that people can be persuaded with propaganda despite the fact that their core didn't start out racist, or misogynist. It was kind of blank, a non issue until their info sources start to rewire the brain. It is a minority that automatically and constantly question everything and take the time to fact check three ways.

And there os a way back out:

This alone should generate a massive anti-Republican campaign.

Mass deportation spells crimes against humanity.

It doesn't acknowledge that the vast majority of migrants are us just moving from one place to another, find work and live a life of a good neighbor, who works for living and raises a family.
I hate MAGA hate, their bigotry, their lack of common sense and compassion.

Not exactly. Crimes are still crimes.

And since the POTUS' core function is faithfully uphold the law, anything outside of that could be viewed as outside of his core function and a private engagement provided the DOJ is willing to play hardball on this and even threaten SCOTUS with charges after the fact if they don't come to their senses.

@enmodo @LindaCollins11
Sometimes it is important to say the unlikely out loud and often.

For 248 years, the norm was, the president is not above the law. When the Republicans unjustly covered for Trump the 2nd time, they argued that he can be prosecuted, and it is in the records of Congress and Senate.

SCOTUS' opinion is radical and not based in the Constitution.

It is time to push back and speak about SCOTUS' lack of immunity for their obstruction of justice.

On an emotional level many surely share the sentiment.
But you can't defeat autocracy with autocracy.

It is better follow through with Prof Tribe's and Judge Luttig's initiative within the confines of law and democratic boundaries. And a grassroot movement pushing for amendments fixing what's wrong starts with demos and actual signatures on paper delivered.

@tweetsjen @AnthonyJK @gwynnion

That's the point. Every f-ing ruling of the Supreme Court has damaged US democracy further and further and just gave Trump the magic wand for his dictatorship but keeping the door open to prosecute Biden, should he opt for any radical solution.

How bad was President Reagan in 2min?

However, it wasn't just all Reagan. It was human nature of people who like to take advantage. Women entering the workforce en masse, married with kids, also reduced the pressure to provide a living wage for the single provider of the family. Why not take advantage of the double income situation and not keep up with inflation as they used to?
