Megaphone :verified:This post by <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/Trump?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> communicates a powerful and <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/dangerous?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dangerous</a> message that <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/laws?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#laws</a> do not apply to those acting in the name of the country.

<br>
It suggests the idea that if someone acts in the interest of their country, their actions cannot be considered <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/illegal?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#illegal</a>—regardless of whether they break the law. <br>
<br>
This kind of reasoning falls under “ends justify the means” logic, often used by political figures, revolutionaries, and authoritarian leaders throughout history to rationalize <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/unlawful?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unlawful</a> or controversial actions.<br>

petersuber<p>I remember Richard <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Nixon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nixon</span></a>'s Saturday Night Massacre, which precipitated the <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/impeachment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>impeachment</span></a> hearings which triggered his <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/resignation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>resignation</span></a>. Only one person was actually fired — Archibald Cox, the special prosecutor investigating Nixon. Two resigned because they refused to fire Cox — Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus. Total of three gone, and it was a scandal. <br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Massacre" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday</span><span class="invisible">_Night_Massacre</span></a> </p><p>Make America great again.</p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/OvertonWindow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OvertonWindow</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Tump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tump</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Watergate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Watergate</span></a></p>
