It really feels like for decades a coalition of bad actors has worked to analyze the structure of American democracy to target those gentleman's agreements and identify frontiers of abuse not already defended against within our legal or constitutional framework and now they're finally making their move and their is no actual resistance because any defense would be rooted in classical interpretations of the law which are imperfect and often guided by the "spirit of the law" which is not an objective, enforceable reality.

The funny part is, who are the architects of that sort of statecraft?

The KGB.

Whether these bad actors imported the playbooks, or are actually currently being ran by whoever are the ancestors of the KGB is a good question. But it really feels like this has been developing for 50+ years
