Hours after the SCOTUS ruling, and a sizable degree of chaos and uncertainty about what the ruling actually entailed, President Biden addressed the nation about the massive implications of the ruling and what it means for future generations.

He only spoke for a short period of time, but he picked his words carefully – drawing the inevitable parallels between now and the upcoming 4th of July holiday weekend, as he spoke of how the absolute immunity for official acts of the presidency could inevitably lead down the path of a ruler that will abuse their power, with a particular emphasis on Donald Trump, who did absolutely nothing during the Thursday debate to dispel the notion that he plans to be a dictator on day one.

Despite its brevity, it was moving stuff – as he mentioned the basis our nation was founded upon – of limited power, not absolute – the antithesis of what the former guy is running on, despite all of his claims of patriotism.

He mentioned how close we were to losing democracy on Jan 6, with calls to assassinate Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence from the insurrectionists. It’s a reminder that our vote on Nov 5 is the most significant one to date – that we must be the change that we need this election or we’ll merely be on the road to an autocracy of absolute power under Donald Trump.
