Nonilex<p>The peril of the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DualState" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DualState</span></a> lies precisely in this capacity for targeted suppression. [Many]…people can ignore the construction of the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PrerogativeState" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PrerogativeState</span></a> simply because it does not touch their lives. They can turn away while dissidents &amp; scapegoats lose their political <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/liberty" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>liberty</span></a>. But once the prerogative state is built, as Fraenkel’s writing &amp; experience suggest, it can swallow anyone.</p>
Nonilex<p>The CEOs who paid for &amp; attended <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trump</span></a>’s second inauguration can look forward to the courts being open for the ordinary business of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>capitalism</span></a>. So, too, can many citizens who pay little attention to politics expect to be unscarred by the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PrerogativeState" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PrerogativeState</span></a>. The normal criminal-justice system, if only in [Trump perceived] *nonpolitical* cases, will crank on. Outside the American prerogative state, much will remain as it was. The <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/NormativeState" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NormativeState</span></a> is too valuable to wholly dismantle.</p>
