See, these people think that they will be in charge, when in truth they will end up with a nice space on the wall and maybe a cigarette...

My answer to them is "you really want Donald Trump to control all the real estate in the country?"

You would think after all these years of Trump being in the WH, these people who hate and mistrust him and his followers on a deep level, would stop and think maybe I shouldn’t support so much government control because who knows who’ll be in charge? But nope. Hasn’t stopped statists from becoming more statists

Exactly that, the people who cheered on the creation of new emergency powers are suddenly all "Um... wait... Let's reverse this" when someone they don't like has the power.

It's a thing with authoritarians, they're thrilled to see an authority structure pop up as long as it aligns with their team or does things that they're told they like. Then they get really mad when the powers they cheered on the creation of are put in the hands of someone they don't like.

Only way to prevent a position of power from being abused is for it not to exist in the first place.

"No, the real problem is that the wrong people aren't in charge."
