    Yeh, but they aren’t keeping control.
    They have been elected. They have 4 years.
    So far, it doesn’t seem that they have broken any laws or whatever, that would cause the system to reject their workings. They’ve rigged the courts, so the system is unlikely to reject their workings.
    I’d say it’s more of a constitutional coup. They are using loop holes to seize more power.
    I think it will be an attempted self-coup in 4 years.

    Regardless, it isn’t worth arguing about.
    It’s wrong. It’s a shit sandwich, the flavour of shit doesn’t matter.

      They are breaking laws, including the constitution. The courts are trying to reject it, but have no method to enforce their rulings when the executive branch willingly ignores them and even explicitly lies the blame with the courts for trying to protect the system.

        I guess what I mean is that they are blasting through flimsy guardrails.

      You’re wrong. Either they manage to eliminate the USG in the next six months or we fucking murder them.

      There is no other way.
