One of the high school kids from Florida on MSNBC a few minutes ago angrily demanding action by Trump with an attitude that seemed just like Trump's own.
"Don't talk to me about the Congress. We know the Congress is broken. But you've got paper, you've got a pen, and you've got executive orders. Stop this."
Contempt for the constitution, for the separation of powers, for actual parties, for the choices of voters, for actual law - all of that, so characteristic of The Duce, himself, and so definitive of political authoritarianism, is really just the attitude of the pure spoiled brat.
Not a surprise, really.
Over the years, people with a political agenda have come increasingly to regard with impatience, disparagement, and open contempt a republican system that relies for its survival on the commitment of not only the classe politique but the majority of Americans to lawful, constitutional, and fair procedures.
The threat this poses to the republic is not only fed by the right.
Though that is a lie of the left.
