German socialists also described Hitlers rise to power as a "coup" or implied that he "seized" the chancellorship unlawfully. It was too painful for them to admit that so many of their countrymen supported Fascism and that he won a democratic election. I'd imagine botencat is in a very similar situation.

Remember Trump's "Muslim ban"? The US courts declared the law unconstitutional and prevented its implementation. The judicial reform would make it de facto impossible for the Israeli supreme court to strike down whatever crazy stuff the right-wing extremist government comes up with. Death penalty for stone throwers? No problem.
