Are the republicans telling us that whoever has potus and one branch of congress

[bullimiami]

has absolute control?

If you have a president that cant be impeached and scotus who's only path to enforcement is via the executive then that executive has absolute power? Which means that party has absolute power?

is that the message they really want to deliver?

if so, the coup they are attempting now best not fail them.

1. When an entrenched, cancerous power removes all legal & nonviolent means of holding them accountable

The people will find other ways to hold them accountable.

[ck4829]

2. Absolute control means absolute responsibility

[unblock]

3. well that's why they're trying to steal the election any way they can

but then, they also don't really expect democrats to wield every shred of power as pathologically as they do....

[unblock]

4. and don't forget the media control they have

an objective media would completely crush them.

[bluestarone]

5. Might add just one thing

THE COURTS!! and they know it!

[bullimiami]

7. They have neutered the courts. Everything ends up @ scotus. Trump ignores scotus rulings. (daca)

scotus has no enforcement ability except through the executive branch.

[bluestarone]

8. RIGHT ON!!

They own the courts as well! That's what i meant!

[Flaleftist]

6. They are going all in on fascism.

They know in a fair election they will be destroyed.

[MurrayDelph]

9. They only believe in that

when the president is a Republican.

[smirkymonkey]

10. Well, we'll see how much they like that when the shoe is on the other foot.

And when Democrats are back in power, I want them to be ruthless. No compromise. No mercy. I want them to bring the republicans to their knees so that they never, ever dare to fuck with us again.

11. And the silence from the Rand Paul Libertarians is deafening.

Rand Paul is not a Libertarian. He's White Nationalist posing as a Libertarian.

[tinrobot]

12. The concept of the Senate seriously needs to be reworked.

It does NOT represent the will of the people.

And anyone who chimes in with "but they represent states" can shove off. States are just lines drawn on a map. Those lines should not make one group of voters more powerful than the next.

13. Republicans don't even give a damn if the Democratic Party holds the Presidency, House, & Senate...

Everything has to be all THEIR WAY ALL THE TIME! And they will find ways to sabotage, manufacture explosive (fictional) investigations of wrong-doing, throw tantrums, refuse to even acknowledge what even they accept as common ground, and just make themselves obstacles to government functioning at all. They cannot help it, because they have been bought and paid-for for decades, but now they are totally OWNED and at the mercy of Vladimir Putin's SOVIET Russia. We are at their end game now, because nobody stopped their dirty 'tricks' and kept treating them like 'honorable' people that had the country's best interest in mind. Since the Republicans have been waging class warfare for the last five decades without meaningful blow back, they got themselves entwined with Putin's SOVIET Russia and had to go for their endgame, where they end up as the oligarchs over all Americans.

For decades when Republicans were calling Democrats socialists and communists, the Democratic Party should have been hammering back at their fascist motives and policies all these years.
