    The reaper’s already in that fourth door, that meme is outdated.

    I’ve been saying for years that the United States isn’t finished because the Constitution is still balanced.

    Up until yesterday’s supreme Court decision, voting made a difference.

    Absolute executive power could easily devolve into true US authoritarianism.

        Ha, sorry, no offense was meant to you or the meme, it’s solid.

        I meant the idea that the checks and balances were about to be completely destroyed was outdated.

        The supreme Court already abolished the remainder of constitutional executive checks and balances, absolute executive power cripples US stability.
