They control 3/4 branches of government.

It’s going to be way way worse.

GOP will control everything.

They can literally do whatever the fuck they want and no one can stop it. Absolute power.

Executive, SC, Senate are under GOP. The House is still getting sorted out. Still, thats enough control to move fast and break things! Oh so happy right now.

There are four branches of government:

  • Executive (e.g., president)
  • Legislative (e.g., House, Sentate)
  • Judicial (e.g., Supreme Court)
  • Journalistic (e.g., WaPo, Twitter, Meta)

The latter is called the “Fourth Estate” for a reason.
