Right, he will do more executive orders and they will be permanently damaging. Each will be designed to further overload the system and push it toward ultimate collapse, immigration, climate change, helping Iran get the bomb, more wars, more deficit spending including just giving billions to various countries around the world, and on and on. Unless Congress stops him, what will be left and how much of it will ever be repaired or reversed?
A lot of the things you listed he cannot do by himself. We have to give the new congress time to get seated, and then see what they will do. Cool heads and wise responses will go a long way.
He has engaged in apocalyptic rhetoric (immigration broken so bad I had to do something). I don’t think we need to respond in kind. If we say ‘end of the republic’, then his side will just entrench themselves in what he does. If we remain calm and say ‘this is not how America works. We must take measures x, y, and z to pull back his over reach.’
Need to explain to folks calmly and rationally. We will never reach those that Gruber correcly characterized. To those folks, no matter what Obama does, they will back him. But calm, reasoned response with gentle corrective actions will pull the middle our way (and sorely disappoint many of us who would love nothing more than impeachment, removal, and arrest of a petulant president who has earned it).
I say we pick our battles and win the war. Thru proper legislative action, ANY law can be changed.
