I think my comparison is accurate in terms of the way that Hitler disassembled the structure of government in Germany at the time to achieve complete control. The Constitutions protections against this are the three distinct branches, and the system of checks and balances.
The Supreme Court, at the top of the Judicial Branch, has been loaded. Lower courts have also been loaded with Trump appointees, like Aileen Cannon, many of whom should probably not be in those positions and are indebted for their appointments. Judges who pass decisions that puzzle legal experts. The bewildering part is why he continues questioning the legitimacy (“it’s a witch hunt”, “they’re weaponized”) of a branch that he’s gained a great deal of influence over (and somewhat compromised). Probably playing both sides: if he doesn’t get the results he desires, he can go back to the witch hunt schtick and question their legitimacy.
The President is the head of the Executive Branch. He or she should be working with the other branches, not questioning their legitimacy or attempting to influence them in a manner not supported by the Constitution.
And that RINO horseshit is practically straight out of Animal Farm. That’s some kind of bullshit to encourage the herd to be good sheep and swallow whatever feces they’re fed, because if you question it, you longer get to be in their little MAGA club. Waiting for somebody to say “But I’m more equal than you.”
Oh yeah, I’m a conservative Republican. If Republican still means you favor having more government power at the local level than at Federal. I doubt that’s really what it means though, because it seems like the power will be centralized at the Federal level, in the hands of one, and passed out to anyone at the lower levels that is loyal. If they aren’t, they get blacklisted and fall from favor.
And all these nitwits can get out is. “Trump! Trump! Trump!” You could load a Fn 747 with them and not one of them could get out a complete sentence. “Trump!” It’s like their amphibians and it’s the only thing their primitive nervous system can come up with.
