"But the Constitution says he can't do that!"

I know, he knows. That's why he is trying.

Unitary executive theory (advanced by project 2025): make potus able to rule through decrees. The Enabling Act in Germany in 1933 did this, lead directly to deaths of ~50 million and burning 2 continents down.

Technically German constitution from 1919 was “in effect” until 1949. Enabling Act made constitution de jure only (by law, not practice); it was technically there the whole time.

History can rhyme.

@davidaugust I’ve been warning people who were talking about "the next four years" that they were not nearly frightened enough and therefore not going to be prepared for what happens.

Pessimists hate being proven correct.

@beasom @davidaugust I suspect that as bad as we expected them to be, they'll be magnitudes worse.

@CStamp @davidaugust Maybe. I knew Cambodians who made it out after Pol Pot took power. My floor is probably several levels lower than most people’s.
