I would like to see Biden give an address to the nation from the Oval Office explaining what the SCOTUS ruling on Presidential immunity means and what its possibilities are. Then hit the campaign trail attacking "the MAGA Court" for shredding the Constitution to give felon Trump license to crime.
With the stated intent to engage in a massive deportation roundup, the option to use the Insurrection Act, and SCOTUS-bestowed immunity, I think it's worth noting how fast the total Trump takeover will occur. Weeks. That's it.

Not the main point, but a long-running pet peeve is I would prefer they simply use Trump's name, and derivatives Trumpist / Trumpism, rather than MAGA. It's a cult of personality. Refer to it by name, not by its slogan.

"Fascist" is always available (I would've blanched a little bit at calling the Court fascist prior to today, but c'mon, this is basically the Fuhrerprinzip)

I find more and more that I like the ring of "tyrant," but yeah

Okay this is interesting. I've taken to saying "MAGA" instead of either Republican Party or fascism. I do say Trump a lot. My thinking is that, while MAGA is fascism, the f-word may distract folks, and it's important to see that MAGA is a longstanding American tradition, not an import or novelty.

I say "the MAGA party" to replace "the Republican Party" because, frankly, MAGA *has* replaced the GOP. Trump of course represents a crescendo of the native MAGA tradition, but the spirit of slavery—what this is—has been with us from the beginning. Open to other ways of labeling these fuckers tho.

I mean it is also an import and a novelty, though

MAGA, properly understood, is older than fascism!

Galaxy brain: no, because it was fascism all along (even before they came up with the name) (I take your point though)
