He's well on his way tbh; he's already consolidated his power by capturing the Supreme Court and the Senate.

That's the thing. They really haven't been like that in the past. We are headed for uncharted territory, but people have already become numb to the amount of offenses he's accrued.

The moderate Democrats really need to nut up and support impeachment. Fuck Pelosi.

He really isn't that special, american politics have always been deeply ****ed. They're just used to be ****ed in a way that liberals were complicit in rather than opposed to.

I wouldn't call it an attempt to disrupt democracy. It's more that he's trying to preserve his power by destabilizing threats from within. And it goes way further back than Putin.

The executive branch has been expanding to a terrifying degree under every president from Reagan on, with Bush Jr and Obama being the worst contenders. Trump is just reaping the benefits of that as he drives us further down that road.

Putin wants to be able to say: Look, they're just like us! Everywhere is corrupt!

Nah... He's tried his best but he'll be gone soon enough.

You can do all the executive orders you want... Problem is the next prez can just reverse them.

Most impactful thing he's done long term, other than appoint to the supreme Court (which is just what presidents do) was the national emergency stunt and the precedent that sets.

Nope, it was the tax bill that has added 1 trillion+ to the deficit.
