Did they plan a military junta to save democracy?
LR Podcast, S2E20: Biden’s Authoritarian Speech
Wow! In one paragraph, Biden goes full authoritarian, shredding both the concept of Federalism and the separation of powers according to the Constitution. For a member of the party always screaming– “Democracy! Democracy! Democracy!” he doesn’t sound like he’s very into democracy here, does he?
