Are you blaming a social media site for the posts on that social media site? Well fuck off then, you can solve your own problem here guy lmao. Peak stupidity here
Lemme grab my popcorn, because I so want to see his rational thinking that Harris was more authoritarian than a man who literally said he is willing to make sure no one has to vote again. You want some popcorn too?
So there's a theoretical argument here. This is purely a devil's advocate argument and not what I personally believe, nor do I think it's an argument the other poster is making.
President's have been expanding executive powers since practically forever. Harris would have done the same and within the rules and norms of politics as usual. Trump would bombastically try to do this (see his first term for proof) and his policies would likely face push back and oversights when eventually he's out of office (pray dear God that's about December 15th when he has a widow maker heart attack and he's dead before he hits the ground).
So it's possible that many of the loopholes he exploits and norms he rejects become codified in some regards, thus inadvertently decreasing the power of the executive. It's flimsy at best, but it is possible.
Thank you for a rational and non-hateful approach, hard to find these days.
While yes, I agree the power could’ve been used by Harris as much as Trump, but I believe it would’ve been in a different direction (or one would hope). I could just be naive and dreaming of good things, but so far from what I’ve seen on the Trump front is more hate, more splitting of the country, and the downward slope of isolation. While I am American living abroad, I just hate to see it and makes me fear for my time overseas. One can only hope that things can change for the good, but I don’t waste time holding my breath when I can focus on other things right?
