Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

norms-pilled just means the a focus on the forms of democracy to a neglect of the material situation--the constitutional/legal violations of jackson and trump are the same, but the latter has much more actual power.
but yes jackson planted the seeds, I think some of those fascists doing unitary executive theory use his example.
nullification is interesting because the prevailing interpretation is that Jackson avoided a civil war by his conduct, and whatever the man actually thought he was constrained by a political reality of the feds being weaker than states. Could 2,000 regulars have taken Charleston? yeah. could those 2,000 defeat NC, GA, whoever else decided the response to SC was an overreach? Mind the North did not like Jackson so much as Lincoln.
His naval solution to the Nullification, and the gracious settlement after was a very adept way to handle it while avoiding escalation
