    You’re missing the point.

    If laws don’t apply, then the President can do whatever he can convince his followers to go along with. Trump might have his party by the short hairs, but Biden is not that influential among Democrats. Biden could declare whatever he wants, but without cooperation from government agencies, states, party leadership, and judges, it would be ineffective.

    How many judges do you think would do for Biden what Aileen Cannon is doing for Trump? How many SCOTUS justices would reverse theory own rulings to serve Biden’s interests? How many governors would abandon all reason and justice to fall in line behind dear leader?

    Whether it’s corruption, kompromat, or abject stupidity, conservatives cluster around the party identity and will parrot whatever bullshit they are fed. Nobody is storming the Capitol building for Joe Biden.

      He doesn’t need all the support just key support which you get by threatening murder. That’s literally why it was brought up.

        To remove a justice, or a candidate, or take away someone’s citizenship, you’d need more support than Biden’s got. To murder someone, you just need to be a sociopath.

            I’d argue that we’re saying the same thing. I’d assume anyone willing to murder someone for political reasons is a sociopath.
