…was at the conclusion of this post on how the oppression of the left is a sign of weakness and tottering.
Reynolds quotes the piece of substack and then says the following:
I agree that the system is weak and tottering. I worry that what replaces it will not be an improvement, which history indicates is a real possibility.
Any student of history knows that it’s very rare that for a system to be replaced by what is expected and that real possibility is likely a lot worse than anyone is expecting.
A close 2nd is this from Kurt Schlichter about the new rules concerning locking up political opponents:
There are a lot of state attorney generals and district attorneys out there in red states, and they are going through their statute books. Conservatives, who tend to be doomers, are fretting because none of these red officials have acted yet. But they will act, all in good time. First, slow, then all at once. That is inevitable. That is the logic of this scenario. You see, all the incentives are to prosecute Democrats in red enclaves for things Democrats did far away. The first red AG or DA who does it is going to be a superstar. And then all the others are going to have to follow along lest they be left behind.
The new rules are going to suck. Those are the fruits of a post-Christian society
