4. What strikes me as the most odious is that this time, it's all being done out in the open

And the public really doesn't seem to care (as a majority...I know there are people who care).

ALL OF THE "adults in the room" are gone...all of the guardrails shattered...Trump's enjoying his benediction / anointing from John Roberts.

And America, for the most part, is just sitting back and letting it happen. CNN is worthless, and unless viewers tether themselves to Wallace, Maddow, and O'Donnell, MSNBC is just as bad. Musk's Twitter is a MAGAt freeway rest stop. The good news, I'd say, is that most of my Facebook friends know what's in the Kool-Aid.
