  • What’s so strange about it is that it’s impossible to be protected, yet unbound, by the law.

    The only way it works is if a collective agree that someone is above the law. That would be what we call a “tyrant.”

    But the collective, can, at anypoint, decide “you know, why does the tyrant get to be above the law?” In ye-olden days, the Tyrant was often actually a strong man. A decorated military leader. Someone who could force others to do his bidding. But even Caesar would fall to the blades of the Senate.

    It only works if somehow a person becomes so detached from reality that they truly believe they are somehow superior than all others. With modern medicine, we call that a delusion of grandeur. So, no matter what laws conservatives make, they will inevitably be bound by it, because they are still mortal humans.
