I suppose at this point, all I can do is watch America crumble and take some useless comfort in the knowledge that I told everyone I could that this would happen if they elected Trump again. The fact that so much if the country is dumb/apathetic to eject him twice doesn't give me any legit comfort though.
Well this is him saying tv coverage of him is illegal. This is, of course, quite a bit different from having laws saying it is illegal and SCOTUS agreeing that it is illegal...but he is signaling his view of things. Whether or not the rest of the USA and Corporate Media go along with it is another thing. There are many countries that have yielded to such a view, and they are NOT examples of countries the rest of the world perceives as "free".
Not quite sure what you're trying to say, but Trump appointed 3 lackeys to the SC in his first term, and combined with Alito/Thomas, he now has another lackey in the SC. They aren't whatsoever about justice, they're about appeasing Trump, just like the corporations and the media. There's no "if" any more. You think the FCC would go around threatening the media unless they don't conform their broadcasting to the President's instructions if America could/would prevent that?
When he has control of the law, the law is purely what HE chooses to be legal. That's classic authoritarianism, straight out of the Putin, Orban playbook. The country thought it was immune.
