The democrats are just not interested in being as opposed to this as they morally should because a large portion are bought biy the same capitalist forces that buy republicans.

Whats more likely are states to shift policies to ignoring the federal courts and localize.

The essential problem is the federal government is attacking the most fortified jurisdictions while choking their own support structures.

That doesnt mean theyll fail, the same way shitty policies dont prevent Taliban rule.

Capitalism is not why this is broken...
Money in politics seems to be a huge part of it.
Politics seems to attract the rich even under systems where money isn't supposed to exist :)
Capitalism is the diffusion of responsibility. It's the trolley problem.

Trump may be pulling the lever to switch the tracks, capitalism is standing there doing nothing.
