It's only doomed to fail because we have a strong Supreme Court. All the efforts by the Democrats to undermine this will only make things easier for fascists to take over the US.

At this point "fascist" is more of an insult than an ideology, very few people who get called "fascist" ever actually live up to any reasonable definition of the word.

> My understanding of fascism is that it is a political system that is founded on a story of lost national glory that can only be restored by a purification of the land by a strong leader

Fascism strikes me as a historical term more than a political one. Its most-commonly agreed upon definition is something like political economic systems that resemble those of Mussolini's Italy and Nazi Germany. (Both governments embraced revanchism. Both were ideologically incoherent.)

The Democrats are not trying to weaken the integrity of the Supreme Court.

[purpleblue]

They don't like the rulings that the Supreme Court has made, so now they are talking about limiting the term of justices, and packing the court with more judges. That is strengthening the integrity of the Supreme Court?

It's not the GOP that is loudly and proudly calling for the court to be packed with sychophants because it ruled against their preferred policy platform...

The Dem leadership has been splitting the baby for years by allowing the ever-increasing radical wing of the party to bloviate about this without ever letting meaning legislation to the floor to enact the changes this group wants, so credit where credit is due, I guess.
