As someone living in Geemany my bar for auch high level laws is: would Adolf Hitler have been able to use it to abolish democracy?

If so it is bad.

IMO the US president was already too powerful since the cold war, but this is crazy.

American has an extremely weak state. The government is incapable of accomplishing basic tasks. Men like Trump want to weaken the state further.

Look at Trumps actions during COVID. Did he use the crisis to grab power? Declare a state of emergency? Declare martial law? Suspend habeas corpus?

No he told the states to handle it.

The real fear Americans have isn't a Hitler situation, but a Hindenburg situation.

You have any polls on that or is that just a guess?

Yes, and the states did handle it. People left NY and CA in droves to FL and TX and still are doing so.
