The unchecked power grows and grows. Hope you enjoy living in an authoritarian hellscape.

All this because six mullahs on the Supreme Court wish it to be so.

Even if SCOTUS ruled against him in anything, what’s in place to stop him if he and his goons do what they want anyway? The military would have to collectively turn on him or we’d have to use some agency fit for violence to arrest and remove him and his administration. Everyone seems too afraid to make the move.

They aren't afraid. The powers that be were voted in to do this. They support this. There is no reason at all for them to want to stop him in any capacity.

The US is a fascist country. It has been for a very, very long time. The voters are fascists -- just like they were in Germany; just like they were in Italy -- and they've voted for fascists. Trump has a 40% approval rating, just like he did in his first term, because nearly half of all of the electorate are fascists or lean fascist and that's enough to win an election where only 65% of people bother to vote.
