Because your democracy is being run by fiat, and many of those Executive Orders are batshit insane, or just plain illegal. And you seem to be OK with this.

Pretty sure not a single XO has been illegal. If you’d like to supply some proof I’d be more than happy to look at it.
I’d be curious which orders you personally find to be “batshit insane?”

The funding one was halted by a federal judge saying it was blatantly unconstitutional. That counts as illegal IMHO.
That's the only one I'm aware of at this time, but there's in the high 10's of lawsuits in progress, so there's time for others to be found similarly.
I suspect the Christian only faith department would also count as illegal eventually.
His Executive Order blocking birthright citzenship was blocked. And that is batshit insane - literally thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) would suddenly be affected by that EO.
And DOGE. You know they are going in and changing safety systems at the FAA, right? Insane.
