Trump's disregard for them helps make him loved by people whose real objection to democracy is that it's one hundred sheep forcing one wolf to cool it. It is _not_ the worship of Power—the many sheep make evident their greater power, but are reviled because it is not their right to limit their superior—but of predation, a statement of the moral superiority of what Old Fred T. called 'a killer'.
Shorter: they're Fascists. Who was it who wrote 'Fascism is Anarchism for one man.'? I am convinced that for many vicarious enjoyment of the Leader's seemingly absolute licence produces a greater sense of freedom than all the civil liberties combined.
I fully expect the GOP to nominate Elon Musk one of these day, notwithstanding his non-citizenship. I think they would have tried it with Schwarzenegger had he not blown it in the second term.
Rats, you’re kicking him to the curb just when I was doing the final mix of his “Greatest Hits of the Artist Formerly Known as Pence.” Old favorites like “When Don Cries,” “Little Red COVID,” and of course “(Party Like It’s) 1899.”
The real life 2020 is starting to resemble Fargo, so that’s one way this plot could go. Or Chinatown. Or Reservoir Dogs. It’s hard to tell real life from fiction these days.
(Constitution says you have to be thirty-five to be President, Vice President or Senator, but when has that little inconvenience stopped them?)
With the New & Improved Supreme Court, it's just a matter of time before they start finding most of the Constitution to be unconstitutional.
You know, I’m starting to think Justice John Marshall’s power grab might have had some unforeseen long-term consequences.
They'll be replacing it with an alt-Constitution that the majority will follow, uh, religiously.
Laws are for the weak.

The rule of law is for suckers and losers.
When has anything really stopped Donnie other maybe being something of a speed bump?
Dog years?
The dialogue is a masterpiece of verisimilitude! I can hear it in my head.
I know I’m not supposed to, but I laughed the most at “I get more pussy than a litter box, Mr. President.” You are BAAAAAD.
Personally, I’m never going to get tired of this *thrown in the back of a van* shit. First the Rummy, now Pence. Do Bill Barr, please!
Also, “I can never tell if you’re kidding” LOL.
I still feel like The Rummy would have enjoyed it. Pence, he'd have been slightly terrified, weirdly aroused, and big league terrified by that.

I want a video of When Don Cries.
But no "Darling Nikki," right?
No, but the video of “Putrid Reign” was cut as “unsuitable for sentient beings.”
I like Pence being abused. Do some more! I hope you have similar plans for Cawthorn.

Cawthorne - what a hunk! LOL
So Pence is Peter Lorre being told “when you’re slapped you’ll take it and like it?”
