If you sat down a random panel of Americans and told them what Republicans are currently doing, my guess is that the vast majority simply wouldn't believe you. It comes off like you're describing a Bond villain. The reality sounds wildly different & more extreme than what they hear organically.
True. It is safe to say 70% of the population has only a vague idea of current events and even that is mostly on a headline level. Trying to survive, apathy and a belief that they don’t matter in the scheme of things among other reasons
It will take a major disaster for country to wake up

Fair question
It’s pretty fucked up that Trump knows he can lie and take bribes because he knows the press won’t use the words “lie” or “bribes.”
True. But elected representatives can use those words. If Schumer says that taking the plane is a bribe and a crime the press will report it.
If Jeffries says that trump is auctioning off access to the WH and is criminal the press will report it
Media is at fault. But so are Dems
”First, the plane is 13 years old. You read that correctly. A piddling little Middle Eastern autocracy is trying to bribe our president with a used plane.”

Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden
Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered
He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office
And he's going to keep using it after he leaves!
Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal
Overseeing the presidential gift rules was among my duties as White House Ethics Czar -- so I know how it's supposed to work
The gift of this plane to Trump is illegal & unconstitutional

I’ve thought about this several times. I fear that it’s only a matter of time before there’s a ‘stand your ground’ scenario in these arrests.
It would be hard to convict them, too - these arrests look a lot more like kidnapping than law enforcement activity.

Disband ICE and disband the Orwellian sounding Dep’t of Homeland Security. We survived over 200 years without either, which were created in the wake of 9/11. While 9/11 demanded reforms, these agencies have grown too strong and too callous toward our liberties.

Absolutely true. And media is particularly at fault. The reporting of the MOI as a trade deal yesterday is what the average person hears and accepts. A large swath of the populace never go beyond the headline
