      Nah.

      Their rationale starts with the belief that all of Trump’s orders are lawful, because he’s the president and a president can do anything.

      So their issue would be that saying that isn’t true, is unlawful.

      Which is obviously hypocritical because they acted like Biden and Obama were Stalin and Mao level authoritarians and multiple sherrifs and other red state officials flat out refused to follow orders from the Fed.

      By their logic now, all those people shouldve been hung.

      But when Trump’s out of office they’ll change their tune again

          Our standards are the best, folks. They’re so good, they call them, you know what they call them? I know you know, the lying media knows, but folks they call them “double standards”. Can you believe it? Standards so good they’re double. And listen, when we put America First, our standards will triple, even quadruple.

          But the reason shit is so fucked, is the neoliberal wing took over the Dem party and their only problem with a strong fed is they didn’t control it.

          Instead of fighting against the centralization of power, they went along with it because 50% of the time they got the keys.

          And the oligarchs that funded both sides were cool with it for the same reason the US was cool with installing puppet dictators in the ME.

          You want centralized power in a puppet state because the more you concentrate the bribe the more the person will do for it.

          It’s not impossible to buy off ~550 politicians to own the federal government, but it’s easier to just buy off the president.

          Just like it’s easier to buy off a single federal government, than 52 state/territories.

          Which is kind of the whole reason we as citizens should want the power distributed as much as possible, which includes unfreezing the number of House seats and putting more power in state governments.

        To be fair, the supreme court recently said exactly that. We literally have a king now.
