For anyone still holding onto a belief that Trump will be restrained by any law, precedent, or norm, pay attention to how quickly and easily the media and culture admit he repeatedly broke the law on live television last night but that none of it matters.
Privileged people with nothing to lose in a patriarchal, white-identity, kleptocratic state don’t care about laws unless it inconveniences or endangers them. They see this as a game. They admire Trump for his gall, his shamelessness. This is how it falls.

This is how it falls.
All of this is a social construct. Politics. Law. Nations and countries. They can all be perverted, destroyed, reconfigured and weaponized. America isn’t immune. It’s uniquely susceptible. Our arrogance makes us vulnerable. Trumpism is a disease and It’s getting worse.
When you treat civilization like it's a game, like it's something you either win or you lose and crimes and perversions, genocides and pillages, are all on the table, are all good strategy, you open the door to cultural ruin and barbarism.

We have to right this thing. In a hurry
