You ever heard the thing about how if you throw a frog into a pot of boiling water it'll jump out but if you put it in cold water and slowly turn up the heat it'll cook? That's us. We are cooked.
you are dramatically oversimplifying and/or misrepresenting glaring omissions/errors/accomodations of jurisprudence over the last several years. i'm not going to debate you on it - you can read any number of opinions/analyses/exposes on it from educated/scholarly/authoritative people.
The frog is boiling. Dang will say to pipe down and stop screaming, while the frog cries out for its life, because some foolish boss types still persist in the delusion our house speaker persists in: thst they can ride this bucking bronco to work. They cannot. The bronco owns them. Lights out and noting this is considered partisan. What is more radical than harassing our friends and allies and uniting the world against us? But if you let out a peep, it's political. We are supposed to enjoy bowing and scraping to obey our overlords, and insufficient display of joy at being suffocated is now partisan.
It didn't need to be this way. TRUMP has already dismantled much of our republic and yet the articles posted here do not reflect this.
What part of "we are becoming the new nazi state entity" does ycombinator not understand?
that is the entire point of the metaphor/idiom/parable - you do not feel anything - until it's too late - you're dead or in jail or homeless or deported.
It's more like draining the water in the pot and pouring in already-boiling water, than it is like heating it up slowly.
