I guess we'll find out if the entire Republican elected body is all in on "full dictatorship or nothing". Not even the majority of the Supreme Court is, just like 3 of them. Doesn't help that anyone who goes against Trump gets actionable death threats from their constituents.
There are a lot of powers Congress could assert short of impeachment that would be easier to swallow and could let Trump save face that would be easier for Rs to swallow. They can literally end the tariffs tomorrow morning to stem the bleeding.
Should be. They don't bloody care. They will giddily watch the world burn down as long as women, black and brown and LGBTQ folks don't have the same rights as them.

This entire regime could be done by lunch tomorrow if the Majority of the Republican Party wanted it gone.
Instead.... this is what they ran on. This is what they want.
So we protest and we take to the streets. We take care of our friends and family the best we can.
However.... Republicans in Congress? Yup. They absolutely want this. Their platform is "Make DJT a King."
This disaster is Mitch McConnell's legacy.
McConnell would have to decide if this is what he wants his legacy to be - ushering in "The Trump Depression"
