Cuba vs Trump

[Syt]

Yeah, checks and balances only work if people want to check and balance. If the key actors in the system decide to collectively abdicate their responsibilities then what is there to do?

I believe the Midterms will be the ultimate test how far this will go and how much they can get away with. Yes, in terms of votes, but also in terms of trying to affect the outcome. If they are able to use the results in a way that empowers them and there is still no meaningful pushback from key actors then I'm not sure anything short of violence can break through this.
