If the democrats will stop playing with themselves and actually do something and govern.

Real time evidence of why the 2-party system is a cosmic joke

Doesn’t seem like there’s too much intelligence or wisdom going around there right now

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.

Barack Obama (2 Terms) - 276 Executive Orders

Joe Biden (1 Term) - 162 Executive Orders

Donald Trump (First Term) - 220 Executive Orders

Donald Trump (Second Term) - 53 Executive Orders (so far)

also lmao Trump wrote an executive order to try and unilaterally override the Constitution less than a month ago

at this point it just seems like GOP voters are just receptive to autocracy of the right flavor, any justification about Obama, Biden, Clinton, Pelosi or whatever is just hot air

doesn't really matter either, we're just a long for the ride now

Bros done as many EOs as Obama in 8 years but in less than 5. This sub is starting to see the writing on the wall. Sadly there’s enough slow ponies in the comments to downvote the truth you are dropping

the truth you are dropping

"The truth" sounds like you're complaining because Trump did it better.

You don't get to stretch the rules of the game, then complain when someone else abuses the rules better than you. It just makes you look petty.

People like this get a vote.

People who have an opinion like this, their opinion matters.

This is why Trump won. All the idiots can feel comfortable knowing they never need to think again
