“whatever power decides” is legal
Not true. When Biden decided to cancel student debt, the court system said “no”. The SCOTUS isn’t subservient to “power” in general, it’s subservient to powerful fascists. Big difference. Trump has spent a decade following the Nazi playbook and acquiring complete personal control over all branches of government and people don’t seem to have fully realized that yet. That’s why things are way worse this time around. When he started his first term the SCOTUS was conservative and corrupt but not yet fascist. This time it’s fully loyalist. In case you forgot, he also had already placed a bunch of loyalists in key judicial roles that Biden didn’t fire.
He’s made sure the law won’t stop him, and now he’s purging his enemies to make sure the institutions won’t resist his unlawful orders. It’s not a “both sides” issue, it’s not even just a “the rich are winning” issue. They might get the green light to deport every union leader, but they’ll be ruling over a kingdom of ashes and blood by the time this is over. Assuming the billionaires aren’t caught up in the purge; plenty of that in autocratic regimes, oligarchs infighting is a great way to ensure loyalty because that makes them incapable of organizing to stage a coup.
MAGA against who exactly? There don’t seem to be many high ranking Democrats willing to call out Trump on his bullshit, and none willing or capable of leading an actual separatist movement or insurrection. They’re actually even more subdued and helpless than they were in 2017.
I’d love to be wrong but I’m calling it now; when (blue) “states’ rights” get de facto dissolved and/or their midterm elections are obviously rigged, they will buckle silently and proceed with a Peaceful Transition Of Power™. Maybe their attorneys will send a Strongly Worded Letter to the Trump-appointed federal judges in charge of their case, but that’s about all the political violence the American Left has an appetite for.
States being stripped of their independence is exactly what happened to Germany in the '30s and I don’t see why the U.S. would suddenly deviate from the script. Your country is way too morally bankrupt to even entertain the idea of a popular uprising.
