The article critiques the actions taken by President Trump in his first 10 days, highlighting how they undermine the essential functions of a constitutional democracy. It details a range of measures, including the pardoning of January 6 insurrectionists and the cessation of foreign aid, that reflect a departure from civility and rule of law. The author expresses concern over the passive response from the GOP and the somewhat muted objections from Democrats, portraying the current political climate as perilously close to a revolutionary mindset.
By every measure, Trump's first 10 days have shattered these norms... this is a full-on assault on the very notions of civility, decency, and the rule of law.
Hour by hour since January 20, the structures of the constitutional democracy have been corroded. As this calamity unfolds, the GOP in Congress is either silent or cheerleading.
