An all-powerful uniparty can do things like this:

    - deport or jail you without due process
    - ignore the law in service of its own ends
    - punish its enemies, pardon its allies
    - ignore the constitution
    - install loyalists in centers of power, oust dissenters
    - suppress media which challenges its hold on power
    - commit crimes
    - enrich its friends
    - declare its "plenary authority" to do the above

Brother, you are looking for the deep state under every rock and it is out in the sunshine, smiling at you.

Yeah, just look at Hungary or Slovakia how that can happen.

"No, you" is a bit of a lazy cop out.

I ask this kindly: you don't really see a markedly increase in corruption across your government the past year?

Not saying it wasn't corrupt and it became now, just that it increased in level and degree.
