Last month, a federal judge blocked the Biden administration-era SAVE plan, an income-driven student loan replacement program with 8 million borrowers, claiming it lacked the authority to forgive millions of dollars in debt.

It's almost funny how when Biden was President he had no authority to do anything, however trump doesn't seem to have that issue as much. Almost funny.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

I don't know why Biden didn't just go full dictator like Trump. Dictators that do the thing I want are actually good and there's absolutely no possible repercussions.

If a democrat went dictator they would immediately have the DOJ, entire media ecosystem, and courts united against them because those that support the democratic party recognize dictators as bad.

If "full dictator" is defined as ignoring established law to enact their agenda, then Biden did go full dictator multiple times. Most notable is how he circumvented established law in order to continue sending lethal aid to genocidal Israel.

And you're right, Biden going "full dictator" does have negative repercussions. Trumps's illegal actions are somewhat normalized by the illegal actions of his predecessors.

I just wish for once a president would go "full dictator" for the working class and not for the billionaires and genocidal regimes.

Well Biden wasn't really president, Trump won, doesn't that make this this third term?
