Journal damn_registrars's Journal: Trump is trying to eliminate congress, forever 2

Don't pretend he wouldn't. Look at what he's done in less than two months, without a single bill having made it to his desk. He is building the argument for congress being "obsolete". His fans are rabidly endorsing everything he does, while simultaneously enthusiastically attacking everyone who dares to question him. His lawyers are working to build cases against everything that could question his power, to be heard in front of judges who openly adore him. The supermajority in the SCOTUS guarantees that he will win any case his lawyers can get there, while other lawyers working for him are building cases for him to be able to replace judges at will - or just add more if he needs them.

This in indeed how democracy dies. It's been a good 200+ years, but it's all winding down now. Perhaps not a surprise that fascism comes in a package delivered by someone whose grandfather wanted to hide their German-ishness.
