1. This is one of the goals. No one can trust the US government any longer.

2. Just wait until another D President comes back into the WH

Supreme Court, an R Congress, R Governors...they'll all just MAGICALLY come back to "checks and balances" against the Executive Branch with anything and eveything being considered unconstitutional and an overreach. Total amnesia for eight years under Trump/MAGA.
