    It’s already authoritarianism.

    Not a step towards it. We’re already there. I don’t get this reluctance to call a spade a spade until someone’s using it to shovel dirt on the commenter having already dug the grave with it in their presence.

      Capitalists always thinking “I better leave a back door open here in case this turns into an opportunity…”

      We were there years ago. I’m Canadian. In our parliament we have opposition. Sure, it’s not always effective and it can slow things down. However, having opposition in government means that the hasty, bad decisions need a moment to be considered by everyone. I know it doesn’t always work, but it IS important. The American Democrats should be a gateway that filters out personal and political missteps. Looks like a little grease on those wheels keeps conservatives rolling right though any would-be regulation.
