Academic here. I'm arguing amongst my colleagues that, practically, its already a hybrid regime. What's that? Think China or Iran. Some local autonomy, some voting, but the real power is centralized in one person or party. A touch of aged democracy with a heavy dose of authoritarianism baked at 451 degrees.

The Constitution is not worthless, not bynany means. Its useful but in a new way. It has been co-opted into the regimes (and it is a regime now) ruling apparatus. A nostalgic and nebulous rallying cry when needed, and a useless piece of paper that doesn't apply when necessary. Because the rule of law, that all important and oft misunderstood phrase, is truly dead, the regime can and is doing whatever it wants.

There may be a few moments of respite, a court case win a back off there, but those are strategic withdrawals. Distract and redirect.

That's all. Keep your heads up, fight for a better tomorrow even if today is lost.
