“We need to shut the border.… The president could take executive action to do it today—doesn’t need more money. It needs action, and this is what’s disappointing to people, and that’s why Mayorkas is gonna pay this public relations price by being impeached for the first time since 1876,” Hill said.
Notably absent from Hill’s explanation was any description of high crimes and misdemeanors committed by Mayorkas. Hill all but admitted that, with the impeachment, Republicans are aiming to make Mayorkas the face of their anti-Biden, anti-immigrant campaign, despite his having not committed impeachable offenses.”
“They” being the majority of Americans. We want a constitutional framework that benefits everyone, not just a select few. That’s not wanting a dictatorship, it’s quite the opposite. Democrats and Republicans Are. Not. The. Same.
If we did get a benevolent dictator, the first thing they’d do is set up a democratic, constitutional framework for when they’re gone.
The whole reason the founders did all this is that dictatorships aren’t stable, and it’s bad for everyone in the end. The ruling class really enjoys keeping their heads.
Spreading power shallow and wide is the way to avoid guillotines and bloodshed.
