And that will open up what we call a race to the bottom. A very deadly, chaotic, injustice-laden race to the bottom.

The "Law" in the States atm is a half-invisible byzantine joke often dictated by the smuggest most self-righteous foreigners and priests of the material imaginable, falsely "enlightened" by their own noxious clouds of hot air keeping them from seeing and engaging with their own biases (often sublimated into resents) and many of these people flat out loathe our shared American customs and blood. They hate any truly popular movements, especially if they call for divestment from billionaire elites, for reasons that largely come down to simple control. If they can't pin you with something, they'll either invent it Beria-style or corrupt you with corrosive cultural poisons until you slip. They'll war against your community using strange and unnatural means and manipulate all sorts of things unnaturally to drag you into the utter nonsense engendered by their perspectives. They will blind and bind you with false charges and keep you from testifying with their threats and relentless political psychiatry-derived demoralization. They'll paralyze you through hateful and bizarre means and call you weak for attempting to take the high road out

This country is becoming a third world kleptocracy with strong features of Soviet style thought control, our Bill of Rights protects less and less each congressional session, with a population as averse to unpleasant truth and statements of the history of the polity as a newborn would be to medicine. What is the point of civility? Why work and save for tomorrow when your past is to be made illegal? Why be honest when your God and Nature given inclinations, expressed only as mere speech, lead you into Orwellian thoughtcrime? Why tolerate my neighbor when I know his difference, should it ever be translated into political accusation, will be my liability? Why forgive and spend effort on rapproachment or creating mutual understandings with my political counterparts (enemies?)? Why give any charity at all to a potentially harmful Other? Clearly right wingers have been going about this the wrong way entirely; the left is engaging in a slow subtle political war using hard to prove or understand means where people on the right capable of understanding this or pointing it out are isolated and picked off one by one. It's pathetic and in Trump's present case, all for a dime a dozen sort of procedural infraction inimical to how sludgy and muck-filled American political campaigning and lobbying really has become, "foreign money" in no small part to blame

12 average people, riddled with biases, bombarded by some of the most intensive and sophisticated propaganda campaigns in American history sitting on a jury pool do not make justice. There is no true neutrality in times where centrists and moderates are actively assailed by both sides. We're headed for a hot civil war at this rate and if I'm being honest it's hard not to be indifferent at the prospect
