A thing that has been driving me crazy: when media or politicians say things like "this is a dangerous move toward authoritarianism/oligarchy/a constitutional crisis" or some such. Why are we always "moving in that direction?" We're there, bro! It's already happened! Let's act like it!

Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just 🤷♂️
