Did I ever say I was a Trump supporter? Did I even say I would support him doing that? I just said that your contention that it's in any way undemocratic is simply false, or at least totally irrelevant. Like another user posted, it was in a sense "undemocratic" for the founding fathers to declare independence from Great Britain and start the American Revolution against the Crown, if you only define "democratic" actions as those you take having some kind of national vote. I do personally believe that direct executive action would be needed to solve the problems of the US government. I don't believe it has to be Trump, and in fact I'd rather it was any of a number of other people, but I'll work with what I have.
You're also operating on wild conjecture and equating it to truth. The executive branch becoming the only power in the land does not proceed from Trump removing those currently in office who are provably corrupt. There's a wild difference between saying "There's a risk A will happen if we do B", and saying "A will happen if we do B". There is some risk, negligible or non-negligible, that unilateral executive actions will lead to dictatorships. This is not a rule. There are plenty of incidences in history where unilateral and extra-legal executive actions do NOT lead to dictatorships, most famously Cincinnatus, but certainly in our own history Lincoln, FDR, and Washington
Again, pilpul and pearl clutching are not arguments. If you contend that there are ways to get rid of the injustice and corruption that has worked its way to the heart of the US government, which are not extralegal and do not rely on unilateral executive action, say them. Just saying "Well I don't know but there have to be ways" is wasting everyone's time. No one, least of all me, is going to waste hours or days brainstorming how to peacefully reform one of the worst and most corrupt governments on the planet just so you can self-aggrandize.
Nice way to dodge the point. Pearl-clutching and pilpul isn't an argument. Do you contend that there is anything good about the US government murdering dozens of US citizens, as in Waco? Private citizens at will, as in Ruby Ridge? Defying its own laws and constitution, as it has with gun laws? Putting its constituents last, as it has with the spending bill? Sending armed police to imprison its citizens in their own homes without due process, as it has during the lockdowns? Openly and provably committing voter fraud, as it has this past year?
If not, do you contend that there is any way of preventing or solving these problems that is achievable without the consent of those who perpetrated these acts? Because you will never get Mitch McConnell to vote for his having LESS power.
As if there's anything remotely democratic about the system he would be purging. If you told the Athenians, let alone the founding fathers, that an imperialistic police state which
- imprisoned and tortured its own people in military black sites,
- spent billions on foreign aid to nations that hate us while letting its own people starve, and
- locked up huge portions of its population for decades with no hope of ever living a normal life
was a "democracy", they'd think you were mocking them.
I don't think I will ever understand the purpose of releasing this audio. It is the worst possible political move. If Trump is right and they leaked it illegally, Kemp just shot himself in the foot. Otherwise, this is directing the country to the worst possible outcome. Sitting presidents almost always illegally stay on when they face legal consequences for leaving. Hell, that's why Caesar originally crossed the Rubicon anyway. They're not boxing him into leaving, they're boxing him into starting a fucking war for his own personal safety.
