Having lived under authoritarianism, I strongly urge you to firmly and swiftly form a negative opinion regarding an executive fully exetcising bypass of the legislature and courts.

Ok, but that’s not happening in USA. Trumps stuff is already being blocked.
I encourage you to read what’s actually happening and not just headlines or tweets.
> Ok, but that’s not happening in USA.
It clearly is.
> Trumps stuff is already being blocked.
That's like claiming there isn't a rape problem because a rapist attempts at raping someone is already being blocked.

What a dumb analogy.
Some people think it’s valid that the president be the absolute executive. I have no opinion on whether that should be true or not.
Even if the president was the absolute executive, they still wouldn’t be a dictator.
When trumps EOs no longer can be blocked by judges I’ll believe he is one. Until then we still have our checks and balances.
