Unfortunately the legislative branch are all under his boot and heel.
So far it has been true.
y’all fought a war over tea tariffs. y’all don’t even fucking drink tea. kids theses days are just tea-drinkers if yeuh ask me.

There is a left but it’s completely fragmented with ideological differences. It basically has zero power at this moment in time because of this and I’m not sure how to overcome the purity testing and virtue signaling that has isolated them all into tiny ineffective tribes.
