The Constitution aimed to limit the power and reach of government; its rival aims to make government triumph everywhere.
Reading Matt Taibbi's summary how the Democrats weaponized the government against Donald Trump, starting before the election of 2016 and proceeding right up to the present moment, I am reminded once again that the issue is not democracy but "Our Democracy™."
That is, the Democrats and their deep-state allies in the media and the myriad bureaucracies that actually run the country believe that democracy means "Rule by Democrats." As Taibbi puts it, "To 'protect democracy,' democracy is already being canceled. We just haven't admitted the implications of this to ourselves yet."
Hence the plethora of handwringing articles warning that Donald Trump is a "Dictator"-in-waiting, a new Hitler, a refurbished Mussolini who, should he be reelected, will mobilize the military to impose his will on a hapless American populace.
Taibbi quotes from a December 2023 "Strategy memo" in which Biden's puppeteers describe Trump as "An existential threat to democracy."
"The people who really run the United States of America," he noted, "Have made it clear that they can't and won't, if they can help it, allow Donald Trump to be president again."
As to specifics, on the first minute of the first day in office, Trump should take a page from Bill Clinton.
Ditto for the FBI. In 2017, Trump left Sally Yates, a left-wing Democrat, in effective charge of the DOJ. She was a disaster.
