The only way you convince Republicans it’s awful is by reminding Republicans power can be abused in both directions.

How I wish this was true... Every single time we experience something (and of course lately it feels like a daily experience) I would be in a discussion at some point with a Republican and would come with super-solid counter-examples like "imagine 2029 and President AOC doing ____" - it just never works...
The democrats don't tend to abuse power back. The SCOTUS ruled presidents have immunity for prosecution for official acts, while Biden was president. He did nothing with the power.
I legitimately wish the Democrats were half as radical as Republican propaganda makes them out to be, then at least we might get something out of it before the inevitable right-wing purge.
