Translation, give democrats total and perpetual power. Ignore the will of the people and their right to vote for whomever they wish. How democratic, allow only the "correct" voices to be heard and respected. Now, where have we heard that before?

For some context, the authors are speaking of the litmus test used to identify authoritarian leaders.
"The final warning sign is a readiness to curtail the civil liberties of rivals and critics. One thing that separates contemporary autocrats from democratic leaders is their intolerance of criticism, and their readiness to use their power to punish those......in the opposition, media, or civil society..........who criticize them."
Justice Dept. Fires Prosecutors Who Worked on Trump Investigations
The acting attorney general on Monday fired more than a dozen prosecutors who worked on the two criminal investigations into Donald J. Trump for the special counsel Jack Smith, saying they could not be trusted to “faithfully implement” the president’s agenda, a Justice Department spokesman said.
Justice Department veterans called the firings an egregious violation of well-established laws meant to preserve the integrity and professionalism of government agencies.
What made it all the more jarring, current and former officials said, was that such a momentous and aggressive step had been initiated by an obscure acting attorney general, James McHenry, operating on behalf of a president with a stated desire for vengeance, and few advisers with the stature or inclination to restrain him.
Greg Brower, who was a U.S. attorney during the George W. Bush administration, said the move was unheard-of.
“This is unprecedented, given the career status of these people, which makes them not subject to dismissal by the president, and the apparent lack of any cause that the department has been able to articulate,” Mr. Brower said. “And so I suspect we will see them exercise their rights to appeal” to the Merit Systems Protection Board, an independent agency that reviews the claims of dismissed civil service workers and can reinstate them.

A word to trump supporters. I know you know this is wrong. The reason I know is if a Dem prez did it you would rightly be calling this an abuse of power. Because it is.
Are you going to keep allowing trump to get away with things like this without speaking up? How far he goes really is up to you. If you collectively make it known you disapprove he will stop. Or you can do nothing and idly watch this orgy of revenge continue.
Is it your belief it was the will of the people to pardon the violent J6 criminals? Was it the will of the people to illegally fire 17 IG's? Or reassign members of the DoJ who are seen as disloyal to trump in the hope they will resign?
LOL! There's that joy, you are one entertaining S.O.B.Go fuck yourself.

It was the will of the people that TRUMP! be our next president. I don't know about you, but most people are not slavish enough to completely back each and every inclination a politician has. To us, the only perfect candidate is ourselves. Did you slavishly expect to support every word that came out of Cackles mouth, since you wanted her to defeat TRUMP!? I would hope not, there were a lot of nonsense words that came out of her.
It was absolutely correct. It is what he was elected to do.
Their minds don't work that way, they are hardwired to obey one side, oppose the other.
Why do you think we disapprove?
We have been shouting this from the fucking mountain tops for 4 years!!!
That's because you ignored the reason for my post and wanted to take it in a completely different direction and on a completely different topic.
Not firing them would be wrong. You WILL see lawfare in EVERY administration going foward if there arent consequences for those involved in it.
