I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at, but I can assure you of one thing: the status quo in the US is currently miles away from what an autocracy is. If you lived in one, you would have to fear for your life just because of these social media comments. And I mean that seriously: Palantir is just as much a thing in the US as the Patriot Act - if this country finally falls to fascism, every opposition, every dissident will be mercilessly wiped out. How that will play out is already evident today in the closest ally of the US, also a fascist regime: namely, Israel.

There is no doubt that the US has been an oligarchy for several decades. However, an autocracy is a different thing, because in such a system, the oligarchs enforce their power through brute force.
An example that is not very far from the US in this regard is Russia: this country is ruled by a tiny elite, as has long been the case in the US, but this elite no longer even pretends that the people they oppress have any choice. Anyone who opposes the system simply disappears, and I think it is precisely this total power that US billionaires are now claiming for themselves. In other words, I think the US oligarchs have now realized that no one is stopping them - and they will use this to abolish even the illusion of democracy.
I think the Supreme Court was just a means to an end. The establishment of an autocracy, however, will essentially be achieved through ICE, an agency that was introduced under Bush Jr. and now serves as a secret police force with exclusive loyalty to the head of the fascist conspiracy. To me this seems obvious by now, given that this agency operates beyond the law and even executes people in the open street. Another very obvious indication is its astronomical budget, which is equivalent to the military spending of a medium-sized country, or, in US terms, more than the cumulative budget of all other federal US-agencies such as the FBI, CIA, etc.
Please note: This is nothing more than my opinion as a reasonably interested observer from afar.
For the Attorney General, an incredible amount of what Bondi is doing is absolutely illegal.
As a lawyer, she is of course aware of this, but she does it anyway because she has no other choice anymore.
In a constitutional state, she would undoubtedly be sentenced to life imprisonment for all her crimes, because what she is doing is in fact high treason.
However, like the rest of this administration, she seems to assume that the rule of law no longer exists, which is indeed the case under this regime.
So I think: The blantant criminals who are in charge in the US not only will, but must establish an autocracy, following failed states like Russia, for example, because otherwise they will go to prison. This would be the logical consequence of a new, democratically elected government, even in a legal system as corrupt as that of the US – the people would quite rightly demand at least some consequences, and leaders like Bondi are not nearly influential enough to undermine the rule of law in the way that the current president is doing.
However, this is merely my assessment as a European - perhaps I am underestimating the degree to which the obviously absurdly corrupt political system in the US is undermining fundamental democratic functions. So maybe people like Bondi could somehow still get away with their crimes under new administration.
It would be great if US citizens would at least hold him accountable for this horrific act of violence against little girls, if they don't want to hold him accountable for the horrific acts of violence against little girls that led him to start this war in the first place, which violates international law.
This is news because it provides evidence of what a piece of shit he is.
Just one example: in Germany, even complete idiots can see why it is more than absurd for any state to use Palantir products. It is really sad that it is even necessary to refute this proposal by obviously corrupt politicians, but this connection to a child molester makes it at least a little easier.
Indeed, even in the West. When you consider that the US regime is even waging a war that violates international law in order to distract attention from the Epstein Files, the situation looks bleak, especially for underage girls - and, of course, for all the innocent children who fall victim to the bombs.
This seems to be an open invitation to any country to finally clarify Puerto Rico's uncertain status in order to give these people the chance to live in dignity.
Obviously, nothing but slavery and disrespect can be expected from the US.
The reason seems rather to be that these people are deliberately and very demonstratively protecting their own underage daughter because they are fully aware of what their "conservative" peers have in mind for her.
And yet, despite shamelessly embezzling more than $200 million from the state treasury and committing unprecedented abuse of office, which directly led to the deaths of countless people, even the murder of US citizens, she is not in prison—to my knowledge, she is not even under investigation for any of this. It is really a lawless country, this new Nazi America...
Die gerechte Rache des Kahn!
What makes you think that a Supreme Court that has ruled that the US president is effectively above the law would make any decision that is compatible with a democratic constitution - this decision is certainly not compatible with any democratic constitution in any country that I am aware of.
The rest of what I describe has little to do with the legal system, because ICE already exists in the form described.
Again, I should point out that I am from Europe and this is merely my opinion, but against the backdrop of recent events, I cannot see how anyone can still have any faith left in the US legal system. To me, it seems more like an accomplice that enables organized crime on this absurd scale in the first place, rather than a system that serves the good of the people.
