Kevin LaRose, AOC2028<p>Here is the thought I woke up with this morning. Recently I’ve been reflecting on how this era in <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/American" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>American</span></a> history will be remembered 50 or 100 years down the road. I think it was Napoleon who said history was written by the victors, for whatever that’s worth. My initial conclusion was, of course, that this time will be looked upon with derision and scorn, and almost certainly there will be movies made excavating the comedy gold that’s prime for the taking. But then I remember all the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/sanewashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sanewashing</span></a> that has gone on, and continues to go on in a big way. Yes, there will be plenty of evidence of what an absolute disaster this time is, but there will also be much material, full of gravitas, telling us it really wasn’t like this at all, that all of this was perfectly normal. Once we all have shuffled off this mortal coil, it will be up to our ancestors to duke it out about who was right. And here is the elephant in the room. When we get to that time long in the future, it is my fervent (desperate?) prayer that this time will be in the past and not continuing into oblivion. <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/TrumpRegime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpRegime</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChristianNationalism</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Doge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Doge</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/MakeItStop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MakeItStop</span></a></p>

I don’t know a good pithy phrase to describe this approach to criminal justice, but it’s definitely not following the law. It’s definitely enforcement for you but not for my people - perhaps this is just authoritarian policing. Using a phrase like law and order normalizes (even gives it some positive valence) these types of actions. <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/sanewashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sanewashing</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>authoritarianism</span></a></p>
