"But Biden is powerless to stop that! Also Trump would totally have the power to do it more cuz the GOP just magically has more executive power somehow!"
But I do wish that Democrats had even a quarter of their "will to power". Their willingness to bend the levers of power in the direction they see fit. Their willingness to ignore norms and decorum, in order to further their agenda. The ruthless cunning, the naked real politique, The decades long plans like slowly taking over the federal judiciary.
Of course, what I'm complaining about is the system working as intended. The fecklessness of democrats is not a bug. It is a feature of the system.

The GOP has shown the executive does have a lot of power, it reaffirms that Biden could do something but is actively choosing not to.
I'm not in the habit of praising Nazis.
