6 states siding against a supreme court decision to deny access to federal authorities seems big, if thats happened in my lifetime I've not heard of it before

I do wonder when someone who truly has ambitions of being a real warlord or autocrat will appear.

When peoole like that are able to do anything it'll be the result of a more material Balkanization and it'll exist in regions where no other law is being enforced.

Politicians today are only in it for their own egos at this point, because none of them have meaningful power to be an autocrat or warlord, because they just don't have that kind of real power. That's why libs Teump derangement is so unserious. Even if everything libs claimed were true about what Trump wants - that he wants to be a dictator and end democracy - it wouldn't matter because even a president doesn't have that kind of real power. They just get to rubber stamp bullshit and have their ego stroked
