Exactly.

Can't pull someone for "driving while brown", but you can pull someone over for "driving while not speaking English, which I just concluded from you being brown"

I keep seeing comments from people pretending that the way it is meant to be is the way it is. Trump has said the law is what he says. There is no effective defense against him declaring laws if there is no enforcement. He has defied judges orders and will continue to do so. The EOs are laws because they are being followed and nobody is stopping them.

Saying he can’t do that comes across like a right wing talking point. Trying to convince people that he can’t do what he is clearly doing, so those who are opposed will just sit around thinking the natural order will take care of it.

And it’s working. Sure there have been some protests. But no where the amount needed to make a change. Trump is now a dictator, and far too many Americans are ok with it, directly and passively.

Good news! With the tarriffs throwing cold water on freight all across the US, we won't need as many truck drivers!

...I really wish I was joking, but the fiance is OTR and freight has already slowed for him. Here's an article from February that talks about how it was already slower than expected.

Fuck you shoresey

Perfect, he gets to make a big fuss for the racists, but doesn't actually have to change anything. That way there's less risk of breaking anything, and he's probably looking for a win right now.

It's a bit like decreeing that all English week day names must henceforth end in the letter 'y'. It's low risk, makes certain people think you're busy taking action, and leaves everyone else wondering what you're up to with this, taking some of the heat off of other issues.

Running the entire economy via a central planning committee is exactly the sort of right-wing free market the GOP voters wanted. I guess? Up is down. The past is alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.
