There is no system of governance that can withstand a critical mass of the people operating it choosing not to do what they’re supposed to. It’s why ohio ignored its supreme court and constitution on gerrymandering and why Trump gets away with shit.

Not as long as we tolerate the presense of those willing to take those rights away
