This is the way dictatorial regimes act following a coup and not how a political party acts that clings to a single digit edge in the house and is tied in the senate.
They're actually doing it wrong imo. As scary as it is to say it, they are not following the 'proper' steps to cement control. They're still trying to 'follow the law' so to speak and are fast tracking specific legislation.
You note that all the regimes start with a bit of legitimacy, but also follow up with terror to force compliance. They're not doing the 'terror' right now. It's all speedy work to try to cement power through laws.
Also they have shit leaders. There's no charisma in the entire lot of them. No real leaders. This is inherently unstable.
Frankly once we get a few good leaders on our side stepping up more we're going to see something big happening.
