This is OBVIOUSLY just in case some future government might do something that COULD be misconstrued as abuse of office. TOTALLY unrelated to anything the current government might want to do.
Christ, what the fuck is wrong with the world? Didn’t we solve this in WWII? Didn’t the world kinda collectively discover that being a fascist, Nazi dickbag isn’t the way to go? What happened?
Just like how many people stopped being supportive of labor unions, a lot of dummies out there have this misplaced belief that as soon as any problem goes away, we no longer need to uphold the things that solved those problems in the first place.
Of course that’s not at all how the world works. Bad actors are constantly looking for gaps in our defenses. They’re never going to fully go away because there is an ever present 25-30% of humanity that frankly sucks.
It requires a continuous collective effort to stave these despicable motherfuckers off.
Thinking defeating the “evil guys” is a one and done type of deal is precisely why we are here.
