> elections be damned.

Isn't the current administration more culpable on this point? (viz. the last time Trump lost an election)

And in terms of norms I mean that there isn't a strict law or constitutional clause written to proscribe each and every thing that the president can and cannot do. The system relies on the people acting in good faith, which is definitely not happening in this case. Instead they are cynically trying to exploit every loophole they can to smash a system they don't even understand.

It _is_ a regime. Who elected Musk or his Doge minions?

Most dictatorships consolidated power legally. That it was legal doesn't mean I want to live in one.

ANd speaking of having it bot ways, you can easily infer what side I'm on, but I get the sense that you are trying to hide behind 'just so arguments'. Could it be that you support the new regime and are trying to avoid saying it out loud?

I wonder why someone would want to hide that...?
