Unfortunately the executive branch has a lot of power, and many opposed to these wild moves are fearful that openly speaking out will lead to retaliation. Witness the revocation of grant money at targeted universities, for example. Also consider how tariffs are applied and un-applied at moment’s notice.
The only way out that I see is for the executive branch to eventually overplay its hand and anger enough MAGA voters to risk losing the House and perhaps the Senate, thus opening the door for the opposition to have the numbers to block legislation and even threaten impeachment over egregious violations of the Constitution.
How many is enough? Half of Republicans stated they would still support Trump even if proven he was a child rapist on the Epstein plane. I don't think there is a bar low enough for conservatives to drop support. At some point we have to accept that they weren't just duped. They actually want these things to be happening.
They just want their team to win, but they barely even understand the sport.
