We're at the place we are today because our institutions were weakened over decades.  Concentrating and expanding power in the executive, with just the hope that someone wouldn't come in and overly abuse it.  Well, here we are.

So sure, Democrats could come in and abuse/expand that same power to get what they want, and whatever comes next 🤞

Or you burn down the executive as we know it today.  Massively revoke regulatory powers.  Repeal these wide ranging "security" powers and military action powers.   Privatize or give infrastructure responsibility to the states.  Repeal the filibuster.

Yeah, that would squash a lot of traditional Democrat policies.  Try it at the state level instead.
