Colorado supreme court ruled that they can take Trump off the ballot, now it looks like California is trying to do that as well. Meanwhile, republican states are threatening to retaliate in kind.
This seems unprecedented for US, does anybody know what happens in this scenario?
I very much agree with this. The real concern people who care about the current system in US should have is with the precedent being set here. It’s very obviously a political prosecution and liberals being the smooth brains that they are keep cheering this on. What they don’t seem to realize is that once the precedent is set, then this will be how politics are done going forward. They’re forging the tools that the future fascist government will use to jail all its opposition.
These idiots have infantile understanding of how fascists take over a country. They think it’s going to be a spectacle like Jan 6 where armed mobs overthrow the government. The reality is that fascists will simply take over the existing state machinery. All the police militarization, surveillance laws, and so on are what’s actually setting up the stage for open fascism.

For sure, this is an indicator of how far the collapse of the institutions has progressed more than anything else. Deteriorating material conditions is the underlying reason that US institutions are losing legitimacy, and there’s no path to fixing that problem that I can see within the current system.
