Nonilex<p>…Today, we are witnessing the birth of a new <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DualState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DualState</span></a>. The <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>US</span></a> has long had a normative state. That system was always imperfect. Our <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/criminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>criminal</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>justice</span></a> system, for example, sweeps in far too many people, for far too little security in exchange. Even so, it is recognizably part of the normative state.</p><p>What the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> administration &amp; its allies are trying to build now, however, is not.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PerogativePower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PerogativePower</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ForTheeButNotForMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ForTheeButNotForMe</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/tyranny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tyranny</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Dictatorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dictatorship</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/autocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autocracy</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/MafiaState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MafiaState</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/NaziState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NaziState</span></a></p>
Nonilex<p>Academic in tone, The <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DualState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DualState</span></a> sketches a template of emerging <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/tyranny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tyranny</span></a> distilled from bloody &amp; horrifying experience.</p><p>As Fraenkel explained it, a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/lawless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lawless</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/dictatorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dictatorship</span></a> does not arise simply by snuffing out the ordinary <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/legal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>legal</span></a> system of rules, procedures, &amp; precedents. To the contrary, that system—which he called the “normative state”—remains in place while dictatorial power spreads across society. What happens, Fraenkel explained, is insidious.</p>
