This tweet is a perfect encapsulation of the MAGA understanding of presidential power: since Trump was elected, he can do whatever he wants, ignore the Constitution, and ignore the law. But that's not how US democracy is supposed to work. The president is not a king.

Ten years ago, many of us started warning about the rise of the alt-right, and we were told to shut up and focus on the left. Well now anti-Semitism, racism, and conspiracies are exploding all over the right (especially with young Republicans), with some of the biggest voices
