I feel like anyone with two brain cells to rub together could have seen that coming. It was never prudent to pick a border fight with Obamas VP. Meanwhile, the maga wing has been busy trying to impeach hunters dick and the rnc is broke. The play appears to be to up the antidemocratic policy and rhetoric to eleventy - but I think that they've misread their home demographic. White grievance isn't interested in a do-nothing anti-government. They think the government should be doing more for them, and less for others. That's the whole point of taking it back.
To wit:
Quote:A new survey found that a majority of Republicans say it is fine for former President Trump to be a dictator for the day if he wins the presidential election.
The survey from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and YouGov found that 74 percent of Republican voters said it would be a good idea if Trump follows through on his remarks in which he said he would be a dictator only on the first day of his second term. Twenty-six percent of Republicans say it would be a bad thing.
Thirty-six percent of independent voters said it would be good, while 65 percent said it would be a bad idea.
Democrats were much more opposed. Only 13 percent of Democratic respondents said it would be a good idea for the country if Trump fulfilled his vow to be dictator for a day, while 87 percent said it would be a bad idea.

It's a shame we can't outlaw a political party for being antidemocratic.
