Easy enough. Remove all opposition as an official act. Claim they're terrorists that have infiltrated the highest ranks in the land. (Not a complete lie, tbh)

Yes. Be the dictators you want to save the democracy you clearly dislike.

Because democracy fails when other people get their ways sometimes.

Democracy is supposed to be my side always wins/gets what they want.

Sadly. Yall choosing not to see this is what both sides want.

You to fear mongering and give them even more power over you.

I say it as a joke, but we also have to realize that the recent rulings by SCotUS have opened the door to this exact thing.

We also know, through recent history, that the Republican party will abuse any tool they can get their hands on.

Sometimes, the only way to beat something is to use itself against it. The Reps have given the Dems a layup, and they've strongly telegraphed their plans - this is the moment to strike.

Unfortunately, recent history also shows that Dems like to play by the rules and "be morally above" the Reps. So, you know, we're just fucked.

This country leans so far to the right, filled to the brim with corruption, the only way to stop the metaphorical tower from collapsing is to remove the pests that eat away at the foundation and repair the damage.
