This is not a new thing. Before the 24/7 access of mobile phones and social media, you didn’t have to cut off family, you just moved away. Long distance calls were expensive and you sent a card at the holidays. That sufficed. Distance used to do the trick, but no longer.

Tr*mp being elected the first time had real consequences: he got to stack the appeals and SCOTUS seats with loyalists and judges who embrace the fringe unitary executive theory.
Something for reforms: maybe presidents shouldn't get the power to select partisan judges and justices?

This is what @jamellebouie.net means by cargo cult fascism. See through the smoke n mirrors, y'all. They have the bluster, the rituals, the TV show trappings of fascism, but the regime is a paper tiger. Do not be intimidated. The people have the power. This is our nation, our democracy.
