I wish it were only the political system, but it is also the social contract that is being broken.

Not everything in a society can and should be regulated by law. For example, we know not to cough or sneeze in someone else's face, but to put our arm or hand in front of our face. It's not a law and yet 99% of people know it and do it and call out people who don't.

The US political system worked well for a while because there were do's and don'ts that weren't made into law, but every politician respected them to some degree. The GOP no longer respects anyone or anything, not an unwritten rule or even a written law, but they want to be respected, they want their rights to be respected.

This is not just happening in the US, I see it happening in the UK and Germany for example. Basic respect for each other is being lost more and more, between families, between neighbours, even between politicians. How do you get that back?

We don't know how to deal with it as a society. We can't have a law for everything. We depend on people and politicians to keep within the minimum social rules and follow an unwritten code, and we have nothing to punish them if they don't and they just ignore these rules and spit on them.

This is literally why China adopted a social credit system, which penalizes spitting in general but also includes spitting on rules.

Not saying it is the best solution, just saying it exists.

It's a double edged sword to build up this much shit. We saw with the court cases that nothing happened until one person decided to make a move. After that, the indictments came flooding in.

Someone needs to be willing to be the first one to throw his orange ass in jail for obstruction of justice and witness intimidation. But after that first person moves, I think we'll see everyone move, and it'll all collapse on him.

It's certainly a flaw though, as you point out. Needing one brave person to stick their neck out to maintain rule of law isn't great.

Judges have to be careful with their orders. They have a lot of power, but are always subject to review. No judge wants to see their orders overturned on appeal because of some action they took.

So while a judge absolutely can impose a broad gag order on Trump right away based on his past behavior, his lawyers get to appeal, and they have shown that their legal strategy is whining about every little thing until they get their way.

By doing out punishments in small stages, he can establish a clear pattern of objectionable conduct, such that when the harsher penalties come, his lawyers have a much worse position to whine from.

honestly im surprised he didnt just outright threaten someone. it kinda feels like this is a desperate attempt at a mistrial.

how many judges would allow 'well, you only broke the intent of my rules not the letter, so ill let it slide this 3rd time'. its prolly zero... unless of course you know the intent of the defendant is to generate a mistrial or other incident allowing appeal.

Trump isn't a actually stupid. He's just an asshole and normal people don't get it.

But if the judge left himself off, and if Trump can make him adjust the order to add himself, or otherwise indicate that he's upset that he's being targeted himself, Trump can and will then argue that the judge is making personal decisions and ask try to make drama about recusing. Which won't go anywhere, but will ramp his followers up further.

He knows exactly what he's doing.

Also it wasn't Hitler himself that architected the Holocaust. Him being in power gave power to even worse people. He was happy to go along with it, it just doesn't look like he had any specific plans to actually exterminate the Jews when he was rising to power. So don't think that Trump's lack of any specific agenda means that such a thing won't happen if he is in a position to enable it.

For a way too large group, his being unhinged bigoted rants are a selling point, not a liability.

For way too many others, they don't care about his unhinged rants because he's pledging to hurt OTHER people, not them.

The former are bad, but aren't enough to sweep Trump into power. The latter, though, could help Trump attain power and then will act shocked when they get targeted.

Tolerance is a social contract, not an ideal. If someone refuses to adhere to the contract, then they are not entitled to the benefits of it either. Hence, there is no paradox. When we say "be tolerant to all" what we mean is "please adhere to the social contract, and assume everyone else does so, until proven otherwise".

The paradox still exists. You described a system that is intolerant of the intolerant. That system is therefore not tolerant. The paradox is that no system can be completely tolerant... Because intolerance would have to be tolerated, which would make the system intolerant.

paradox of tolerance

From Wikipedia...

The paradox of tolerance states that if a society's practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them.

Someone needs to explain to me why that's an absolute/assured (the italicized part).

That seems like one hell of an assumption, and not a foregone conclusion.

infamousta 4 points 3 years ago

Assume that the tolerant party extends tolerance to the intolerant party. The goal of the intolerant is directly in opposition that of the tolerant, and the tolerant must then tolerate (i.e., not impede) this aim.

The only direction such a conflict can move in is toward the will of the intolerant party, because any push in an opposing direction would require an exercise of intolerance from the tolerant party (or an adoption of tolerance by the intolerant party).

No, it can stay in a steady state, or if the majority of the population agrees one way it can move back towards tolerance.

I would argue the opposite. To be able to deal with intolerance you have to be even more tolerant to be patient of them and their opinions.

You're making a false statement and a straw man.

I really don't know why everyone discounts the propaganda so much. I've been a broken record on this lately because, yes, we have assholes in vast numbers, but we also have a massive propaganda problem that is essentially creating a reality that doesn't actually exist.

In their version of reality there's actually a real reason why everyone is coming down on Trump and it's spun in a way to make you think he's a victim of the "ruling elite" who's trying to prevent him from Fixing Americaā„¢. Their version of reality has Trump as a likeable silly person who has a loving family and just wants to use his Business Acumen™©® to set America on the right path. Past that there's all the Facebook/social media fantasies people make up and spread, qanon shit, etc...

That's not to say there aren't hundreds of thousands of people who are just straight up racist hateful assholes, but a very large portion of the people who vote for Trump think they're actually picking a good person... It's infuriating, the criminal isn't a criminal and ol Biden who the right has been attacking forever is somehow actually a criminal that no one can catch..

I'd be more thankful if there were way less "neighbors" showing their true colors right now.

The judge created this. By slapping him on the wrist, ever so gently, he is absolutely going to get more of it.

Wise TF up judge. Jail. No posting anything about the trial, your court, or anyone involved. You are not dealing with a normal person. He’s a demented sociopath. You can not allow this.

It's actually better. He didn't write the comment, he just re-shared it, boosting the visibility. This is his typical MO. "Lots of people are saying the thing. I didn't say the thing." Until the judges tell him flat out to stop using his social media accounts or they'll throw him in jail, he's going to keep doing this shit.

Weird hypothetical: what if he dies, but he's still getting votes? My guess is that there's a decent portion of his supporters that would vote for his corpse, maybe assuming it's some conspiracy and that he'll rise from the dead. I mean he wouldn't be able to take the oath of office, but would congress have to invoke the 25th amendment if a dead person wins the election?

I don't know anything about how truthsocial works.

Is "retruthed" the same thing as "retweeting" (or whatever that's called now on xitter), or is it closer to "liking" something?

Regardless, trump now thinks he's found a loophole in the gag oder by letting other people post it and then boosting it somehow?

He's facing fines, his family is in court, he's already been found liable for rape, everyone was saying the same thing before he even went to court. That he would never actually go to court that he would never be found liable for rape, and now he has.

This one incident isn't so important except as a cumulative addition to his felonies. But everything added up is important and he is facing actual consequences.

He's a rapist. Anybody who votes for Trump or supports Trump is voting for and supporting a rapist. That will not change everyone's minds, but it's going to affect how some people vote.

It's still way to little way to late. The amount of shit that fucker still is allowed to pull would have landed any other normal person in prison months ago. When the justice system does show this unequal application of it's justice, it does hurt it's own perception among the normal people significantly.

It isn't fair or proportional yet, but it proves that even though everybody was saying that he'll never go to court or get in trouble for anything, Trump was found to be a rapist, he is ordered to pay millions of dollars in compensation, his motions to dismiss cases are now being struck down instead of allowed. He's facing 36 felony counts.

Cynicism and marginalization about the sentencing he's already faced and his current legal battles only helps Trump. He wants you to have that exact attitude, because if enough people think that he can't be prosecuted, then you will fulfill your own prophecy.

The justice system in this country is very slow, and it hasn't been "fair" since it's inception, and even so the justice system is working.

He's liable for rape, his business licenses were suspended in New York, his family is going to court, it's being litigated in Colorado whether he can even be on the ballot.

It isn't fair or proportional, but people are actively fighting against Trump and getting results, rather than complaining about how maybe further action won't work.
