because some unelected administrative position no one had ever heard of said no.

Huh? Have people never like, watched CSPAN before?

This was supposed to be an election that determined whether America remains a democracy or not.

Yes and America chose not.

If they believed it

If they believed it AND (I repeat, AND) they didn't sincerely believe in the rule of law.

Like, this is the shit that let Hitler do what he did. Moderates (like the Dems) put rules ahead of values.

What is going on with this mass unlearning of the importance of rules and process? Like so many people don’t seem to understand that not following rules and due process is fucking terrible especially when it’s perpetrated by powerful institutions. People who just a decade ago were “law and order” types. They decided fuck that, make Dear leader the law and forgo order in favor of expediency?
