(1,822 posts)absolutely right that Garland is now completely irrelevant to the situation at hand. Does he deserve much of the blame for this state of affairs? Absolutely he does, as does the court system for allowing Trump to even run after committing a fucking insurrection, in blatant violation of the law. But while history can and should condemn him for his actions (or rather, inaction), there is no longer any sense in constantly revisiting that subject when we're being faced with such immediate and dire circumstances every single fucking day. Thanks to Palantir, we are about to turn into a full-on surveillance state while at the same time criminalizing the poor. Fact-based health and science have now been all but eradicated. The list goes on and on and on.
My sole concern every day now is whether or not this country can endure for so much as another year, because it's going to take far too long to recover from all this, and I know I personally would much rather contribute to a society that actually still gives a flying shit about its people and their quality of life rather than trying to kill off as many as possible to pinch pennies. Tarring and feathering Garland--however much he deserves it (and he certainly does deserve it)--isn't going to change that.
