On: Resist Authoritarianism by Refusing to Obey in Advance (2017)

[tomrod]

A great example of the many system abuses over the past several weeks.

People did not vote for the Dark Enlightenment nor the Butterfly Revolution. Want to gut USAID? Work with Congress and pass a law. Want to strip Social Security? Samesies.

That is the rule of law. If you are a representative of the people, you follow the law.

Heck, want to get rid of the useless penny (like we Canadians did years ago)? Change the law:

That is not how the US system is set up. If that is performed, then the word coup applies.
