[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who has lived through the collapse of a democracy or studied that topic is very worried. Are they crazy or just better informed than you about the signs that institutions are failing and power is being dangerously ceded to one man with authoritarian tendencies?

A lot depends on if the executive still follows the courts. The legislative branch has shown no signs of being a check. They’ve been verbally threatening not to follow court orders for a few days. Threatening judges. Project 2025 says ignore the court rulings and proceed with your policies.

Are we crazy for taking them at their word?  Where do other people find the confidence to believe they wouldn’t actually do it?[/quote]

Really something that reducing the size of the federal workforce and ending ridiculous spending by USAID = the end of democracy.

This hyperbole is really unhinged.  Obama issued EOs that exceeded his authority and were blocked by courts.  Biden did the same (ex. student loan forgiveness).  This is not at all an uncommon practice and does not equal a Constitutional crisis.  The courts will either uphold the EOs or block them.  Our democracy won’t fall apart and the left loses credibility by claiming this.[/quote]

One pretty important difference is that Biden and Obama complied with the court decisions.  Trump is violating them.  [/quote]
