Can't get mad when your "side" does it, too. Executive Order is a big problem for our country, and it has nothing at all to do with which party has control of the White House.
Trump signed 220 in 4 years compared to his predecessors who each had 8 years
Clinton 364
Bush 291
Obama 270
If you wanna bash the process you gotta be consistent.
This just falls under my “everyone loves their dictator” theory.

Thanks for pointing this out. I've railed about this to my family for years. The problem with a president acting like a king is that in 4 or 8 years you'll end up with a president you don't agree with acting like a king again. The cycle has to stop somewhere. I was hoping that the left would realize this with Trump. As soon as Trump got in to office the right forgot that they didn't like EOs. As soon as Biden got in to office the left forgot that they didn't like EOs.

Bro, are you not aware that all Executive Orders are not alike in type or impact?
Every time the POTUS makes a change in the executive branch and issues an EO, is not the same as bypassing Congress or usurping their role.
Furthermore, EO’s are just one type of abuse of power of the POTUS.
Please stop acting like you’re making a sophisticated point. You’re not.
You are, in fact, repeating a lie of demagogues who use half-truths to cloud real truth.
