Hopefully your secret granular answers demonstrate a better understanding of issues than what you've posted publicly.

The constitution only has power when the people in charge give it that power. It isn't magic. People underestimate black swans. They always have and they always will. What does government reform look like to you? Why do you have zero trust?

He left power after pursuing every avenue could think of to keep it. He urged governors to “find” him votes, solicited the help of foreign governments to go after political opponents, plotted to create fake slates of electors, urged his vice president to certify those fake electors, and allowed his mob to attack the capitol. He was surrounded by people constantly keeping his worst impulses in check. If he learned his lesson and installs loyalists to every position possible within his power, who knows what happens. Especially with years of planning to work with this time. I don’t think the end of US democracy is the most likely outcome, and hopefully the supreme court doesn’t get insane enough to not remain a check on him. Though if US democracy were to fall, i struggle to think of any other way it would begin than something very similar to this.

So every incoming congressman would be thinking about how to best position themselves for a private sector job when they get out

Exactly. I don’t care how many of his voters are kind hearted. We are undoubtably closer to the crumbling of US democracy than we were a week ago. How much closer is the question

Anything he might do pales in comparison to his autocratic views no longer being constrained by the adults in the room. I don't think he would find any shame in weaponizing the DOJ against journalists, replacing federal workers with partisan loyalists via schedule f, and doing anything he can get away with to compromise elections in his favor and seize more power for his group. Who knows how far he could get with any of this or if he'll actually attempt it in a second term, but the fact that it's on the table at all is terrifying. Even a 10% chance is obscenely high.

Looks like Celsius might be distributing 1.98 billion of their remaining ETH to creditors instead of selling it. Bullish
