> When this is all over

I really wish I shared the optimism. Trump is talking about taking over USPS directly. The new head of the FBI just announced he wants to send agents after "legacy media". We had an EO saying the president is the sole arbiter of truth in the Executive and installs Apparatchiks into each department for overseeing compliance. And then the official white house communications channel said "long live the King". Republicans are looking at lifting the term limit for him.

In 2020, Trump directed a mob to overthrow the US government to prevent the ratification of an election he lost. In return, SCOTUS granted him absolute immunity for "official acts" that they get to define on an arbitrary basis.

I really think it's over this time. He once told an audience of Christians that if they voted for him, they never had to vote again. Yeah...
