The current problem is that the ones in charge of enforcement are the ones ignoring the law.

But unfortunately, adding more enforcers doesn’t actually “solve” this problem. The only way to deal with this, is to remove the current officials from their positions and replace them with people who will enforce the law.

In a democracy, that means voting those officials out, and hoping that force isn’t required, beyond that. Because if it is, then a lot of people are potentially going to get hurt.

In the meantime it is important to remember that the law still does protect you…it just takes longer to fight it, than it does for them to break it. Keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of what Trump has been trying to do, eventually does get struck down in court. It’s unfortunate however, that before that happens they’ve already done a lot of damage to people’s lives.

Just because someone “can” break the law… doesn’t mean the law is useless. You’re right, that it comes down to enforcement. But enforcement requires that law to exist in the first place, otherwise there is nothing to enforce. It’s a self-sustaining loop.

If that loop is broken for some reason, that doesn’t mean the law is no longer important. In fact, it often means the law is more important than ever, because it is more obvious than ever, that it needs to be enforced. You are watching the consequences of not having that law, unfold right in front of you.

Simply saying, “Oh, well. I guess that law doesn’t matter anymore, since no one enforced it”, is that point in Lord of the Flies when everything starts to spiral out of control.

To be fair…the Canucks never rioted. The fans did. Just sayin’.

A better questions is, why the fuck do so many people want to go to the same country that’s responsible for fucking theirs up so bad, that they don’t want to live there anymore? It’s like Stockholm syndrome.

The Treaty of Versailles was the treaty that ended WW1. It required Germany to pay huge reparations to the rest of Europe.

Trump just signed the Memorandum of Understanding that “should” lead to the end of the war with Iran. And the US is required to pay huge reparations to them.

It’s a bit “on-the-nose”.
