Oh only smooth brain Dems and memory holed liberals would take that for sarcasm.
It was a subject of intense debate during the Obama administration, and like every thing this current administration takes for granted in their authoritarian sweep, the basic infrastructure for those actions was installed by under Democratic administrations, or at least neoliberal/ administrations.
This was the debate we were having, and liberals of the time were largely fine with the role of the presidency, because it was there team in charge. I strongly recommend this old episode because exactly this problem was being discussed almost 15 years ago. And if you don’t have a problem with it when it’s a Democrat doing it, you don’t have a problem with it.
