• 11/ lastly, this has nothing to do with border security. If Trump actually cared about border security, he would have proposed and passed a plan when GOP controlled congress. Why do you think he waited? He doesn’t want a secure border, he wants it as an excuse to usurp power.
• 10/ call your representatives, talk to your relatives and friends in the military, let any bureaucrats in any wing, FBI, homeland security, etc, know that the president centralizing power in his hands and breaking down our constitutional democracy will be opposed everywhere.
• 9/ have the courage to draw a line. This isn’t hypothetical or posturing, this is our lives and that the future of our country. If you care about the constitution and the limits on centralized power that it represents, take a stand.
• 8/ when you analyze the deterioration of past democracies in the hands of populist leaders, they always look like “boiled frogs.” Slippery slopes of power creep, of gradual undermining of democracy. Ongoing outrage without a clear line in the sand.
• 7/ declaring a national emergency to grant himself spending power typically reserved to congress and military power typically forbidden the president is concrete action we *must* be outraged over.
• 6/ we’ve become jaded, even immune to the daily outrage, the weekly shock at the president’s constant authoritarian threats, but so far they’ve mostly just been threats, rarely action.
• 5/ we’ve been protected in the US so far mostly by social norms. Previous presidents could theoretically have declared a state of emergency and then undermined journalists and congress and intelligence agencies...but they knew the public wouldn’t tolerate it.
• 4/ declaring an emergency is indeed within the constitution itself (as is the president being able to pardon people who are witnesses against him in a criminal investigation.)
