    republicans will use the exact same executive order to install ultra-MAGA goons

    Because the thing holding them back now is norms? They’re going to do it already. Why do you think they’re creating so many vacancies. It’s in preparation for 2024.

      Dems will continue to play by the rules and lose. But hey, at least they have the moral high ground while we slip into fascism.

        I wouldn’t want fascist rule from the dems either; keeping your morals in the face of all of this should be a positive.

        That said, the DNC is a bunch of lawful-evil cowards who could do a lot more while following the rules

            Chancellor AND President? Hitler is dead. Stop the hyperbole. This isn’t moral better-than-thou high ground; if the dems start breaking the rules too then there are no rules. If there are no rules, the ones willing to attack and use force win.

              That’s literally how Hitler came to be in charge of Germany. He didnt win any elections and the Nazis weren’t the majority until he was put in power to pacate his followers.

                Y’all hate me for not wishing US politics was a free-for-all? Hitler is coming if we don’t turn into a slightly left GOP? Forget that
