The thing is that this isn't low brow, Trump is being overtly corrupt and building an oligarchical government. If you want Democrats to do that fine, but the delineation here is not between ruthlessness and Pollyanna, it's between blatant violation of core constitutional responsibilities and a modicum of respect for them. Trump doesn't have the power to just not enforce the Tik Tok law, but he called the CEO and told him if he ran an ad for him he'd do that. It's plainly both unconstitutional and illegal, and that sort of quid pro quo in the WH is the kind of things that cause democracies to collapse in on themselves quickly. If we have to play by the same rules oh well, but we're trading a conservative oligarchy for a liberal one.
