Executive orders that wouldn't be possible if Democrats had put Trump in prison, where he belongs, the day Biden took office. Tell me that if Obama had mobilized thousands of BLM supporters to attack Congress so he could have a third term that the GOP wouldn't have locked him up. The Dems aren't fighting because they are complicit.
When they were giving that power, they turned around and said " do we become the exact thing we swore to destroy? Or do we trust the process that's been laid out for us and hope for the best?"
Whether they made the right call is up to interpretation. But do you really want to live in a country where either political party can just lock away their opponents whenever they deem fit?
Whenever they deem fit? No. When one of them is butt-hurt over losing and tries to incite a rebellion to overthrow the legislature and install themselves as a dictator? Absolutely.
