Death By A Thousand Cuts

 U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman on Wednesday night granted a preliminary injunction blocking a Texas law seeking to ban “viewpoint discrimination” on social media platforms. “Social media platforms have a First Amendment right to moderate content disseminated on their platforms,” the judge wrote.

Well of course, you might say. After all, the users agreed to the Terms of Service simply by using the platform. But that unconstitutionally bad law is another example of how legislators with an agenda create bad laws on purpose, then hope for a tea party judge to agree with it. Most of those legislators have a law degree, so they can't plead ignorance of the constitution. This "death by a thousand cuts" explains how our democracy is dying. One after another, across the USA, bad laws are being written in state legislatures. Democracy, fair representation, and a civil society is being dismantled in the perpetual pursuit of unbridled power.
