Why you think Robert Reich is an idiot? I really do Not agree with people who try to infamize people and institutions without constructive critique.
This is very lame from you.

fair enough - I was rushing and I should have been more precise: he is a partisan hack, so his takes are idiotic
If you want to get a sense of what is happening in the US, I wouldn't follow someone who is so deeply committed to his party that he only advocates for free speech when it's speech that he agrees with, or for media independence when it's media he likes ... I could go on almost endlessly.
And ideally it should be someone who knows what his own system of government is.
[I'm sure I've said something like this before, but those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome are almost exactly like die-hard Trump supporters. Both groups are so focused on one man that they are oblivious to the creeping surveillance, the endless wars, the dangers of fiat and inflation. They fight totalitarianism when their side is out power and revel in it when their side is in of power. It's deeply hypocritical, and Reich is a classic example.]
I have to say your take seems like blackmailing to me. Take your stance. But stop blaming people. Start blaming the story they tell, when it is flawed. Bring up, whatever you are not ok with. But when I bring up whatever note of nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kytcqyp52cre8cp29xalvde79ee4294h032s7mtwx4rp0lt5wmgrly6hlc9syr7p, it is far from fair, to discredit his words for whatever other thing he should have said.
Please respont to the statements, not to the person, which sais it. A statement is not dependent of who is saying it. A statement is true or false depending on what facts and feelings say about the statement. Not about the sender of the statement.
Do you agree or disagree, that Trump is dismanteling checks and balances? This is a quiet factual statement, independent in what party you are.
To explain to you what I mean by factual: When I say that water evaporates at about 100°C at sea level, this is factual. If this statement is true does not depend on my religion, my sex or having certain age. It is a fact whatever person can test by experiment. The same way, one can check, if Trump supports checks and balances or not. This does not depend on political preference.
