“Hitler's Enabling Act (1933) let his cabinet bypass parliament while claiming to ‘save democracy.’
Yesterday's Executive Order lets White House control all independent agencies while claiming to ‘restore democracy.’
They're not even changing the playbook. It couldn't be more obvious but they're disguising it all in democratic language to fool lesser civically-minded citizens.
See the comparison below between yesterday's EO and The Enabling Act.”
