Future History of Presidential Immunity
Those Netflix Nazi Documentaries?
They are not just history. They are warnings.
You know those Nazi Germany documentaries on Netflix and The History Channel? The ones where they remind us that all those atrocities did not happen all at once, but instead were incremental, seemingly innocuous steps taken to secure Nazi authority? The ones where they say that Hitler pinned the burning of Berlin’s Reichstag Parliament building on communists so that he could outlaw opposition? The ones where they remind us that Nazi Germany had to be defeated militarily and that Hitler never suffered the wrath of his own citizens (unlike Mussolini in Italy)? Those documentaries?
Well, fifty years from now, when the documentaries on MAGA America are fed to our brains that exist only in the cloud, July 1 2024 will be a key date accompanied by consequential music. The film will be in color, but only in two dimensions, compared to the four dimensions of most future entertainment. It will look rickety, despite the digital recordings.
The documentaries will claim that July 1, 2024, marked when the United States Presidency ascended above the law as the Supreme Court outlined “presumptive immunity” for the President.
