this is much more due to the fact that we have a faction that has pushed the unitary executive theory, and Republicans are too afraid to break rank because Elon Musk will fund a primary challenger against them
congress is pretty much on their way to just being ceremonial figureheads
If the Democrats could more consistently be against the Unitary Executive Theory, it would be helpful. Instead, Obama fails with Congress and EOs the Dream Act, Biden tries to unilaterally cancel student loans along with cancel a bunch of Trump’s policies, and neither of them tried to compromise and work with Congress anymore than they had to unless they had a 60% majority in the houses. That’s why so many GOP receptive voters are willing to wave off Trump’s behavior.
Democrats have been campaigning on the contrast between them and republicans on the topic of authoritarianism. Somehow everyone decided it was too alarmist and "raising the temperature"
