Some other stuff is ignoring non-legal guardrails that are an important part of functioning democracies (like not having the President directly order the AG to prosecute or not prosecute people).


Uh, huh. President's never work with their AGs, right? We've never had a "wingman" scenario before, or other ones meeting targets of investigations in private settings, either?

Trump isn't doing a single that that's never been done before.

It's not a binary, where if there exist some things that Trump is doing that are non-authoritarian it must mean that everything Trump is doing is non-authoritarian.

It's just...dumb. The same morons who called Bush Hitler and said he was going to cancel elections in 2004 and 2008 are the same morons who said that TrumpHitler was going to cancel the 2020 elections and the same morons who say that TrumpHitler is going to cancel elections in 2026 and 2028...will say the same things about Theoretical President Vance or DeSantis in 2030 and 2032.

In other words, morons gonna moron.

But he didn't start disappearing people without a trial on day one of his bullying his way into power.

The SA was murdering people at least as early as 1931.
