How naive are you? I mean seriously.

Your post is one of the worst faux savvy takes I have seen. A true classic of the genre. The US Government is not an independent thing: it is made up of people. And if you haven't notice the current set of people are doing lots of gigantic, unprecedented things.

You either have a truly massive case of normalcy bias, or you approve of their lawlessnes and are running cover.
