Is it? I feel like the mud slinging has been in vogue for a few decades.

The willful lawbreaking is new. But the rhetoric feels familiar.

> point do the MAGA folks realize that they are enabling a future Democrat in the White House to do the exact same thing

None of them do. (To be fair, administrations have been expanding the Presidenxy since WWII. We never had a Constitutional discussion of strategic nuclear command or a standing superpower’s army.)

My pet projects are shredding federal student loan records, tearing the turbines out of coal plants and ceasing enforcement on tariffs and duties on all imported food on day one.
