And SCOTUS. They have seized power of all three branches and "checks and balances" are but a memory.

Interesting way to say “they won a bunch of elections”.

That's not what I was saying. And "winning" elections implies legitimacy but when that comes via gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisement, and possible vote tampering that claim rings hollow.

If you actually believe in democracy and what it stands for you might have some concern, rather than just cheering on the team whose jersey you wear.
