S.V. Date, writing in the Huffington Post, listing the reasons that the Malignant Fascist's actions in the first 100 days into his second term should prompt fear for the preservation of our democracy:
"However scared you might be for our democracy, you are not scared enough.
"The president of the United States, from the moment he regained the office, has been step-by-step following the autocrat’s playbook. He has gone after universities for not obeying his decrees. He has extorted law firms for having on staff, or just once-upon-a-time having had on staff, people who crossed him. He has targeted for prosecution former aides who challenged him. He has arrested a local judge for not helping him round up migrants for deportation. He has attacked the free press for not bending to his will. On his very first day in office, he released from prison hundreds of domestic terrorists, effectively a personal militia, who assaulted police officers in his name.
"And now, not 100 days into his term, he has done what so many democracy advocates have feared he would eventually do, something that no president has dared try in the more than two centuries since Marbury v. Madison’s precedent that the judiciary would be the ultimate authority on what is and what is not legal: He is straight-up defying the United States Supreme Court." (our emphasis)
The Malignant Fascist first stated he'd be a dictator from day one, later saying he'd be a dictator just on day one. He was right the first time.
