Stop 'both-sides-ing' it. Only one party has been pushing for minority rule (by their own party) authoritarianism for over a decade, and now having gained control is running roughshod over all checks & balances and corrupting all institutions to service their executive(s).
This is the big-standard authoritarian playbook. In functioning democracies the three branches of govt (executive, legislative judiciary), and the branches of society, industry, business, finance, press, academy, religion, social groups, sports, etc. are all independent. Under authoritarian regimes, they are corrupted & coerced (threat of prosecution or ability to pay & serve to avoid prosecution, or ability to raid the country's coffers) by illegitimate use of the power of govt to serve the executive.
That is where we are now, and will be until the people make it stop.
