Sorry, does “disarming” here mean “not engaging in illegal authoritarian action”?

I’m not sure what system is being protected in the scenario where everyone is openly and illegally authoritarian. I hope that if Democrats get back into power they will invest in stabilizing democracy and the rule of law, not just attempting to run the same authoritarian playbook for their own benefit.

Nothing discussed is black-and-white illegal. SCOTUS has made that clear.

Me too. The first step in that has to be setting the precedent that if you side with an autocrat, you lose your wealth and freedom.
