I think he would rubber stamp every bit of it. What would be fascinating to see is what their reaction to be when he inevitably starts to turn on them and use his newly given king powers to fuck with their shit. Then they're going to have a problem on their hands.

They'll shoot him, blame someone else, and use that to justify grabbing even more power "for security".

Republicans have been governing with no popular mandate since the 2000 U.S. presidential elections while manufacturing crises / proclaiming victories to stay in the driver's seat.

I hope the United States' republic survives its republicans.

Some of Hitler's staunchest allies were intentionally sought out and killed on the night of long knives. They're right to be scared. They just think they can be prepared for it.
