Joe Biden desperately wants to be a transformational president; an historic icon, just like Franklin Roosevelt. In the 1930's, when the Supreme Court repeatedly ruled that key New deal programs were unconstitutional, FDR tried to pack the Court with additional justices who would do his bidding. Though his court packing effort failed, from then on, FDR had his way with the courts.

Biden also has at least one other role model, Woodrow Wilson. By the early 1900's, civil rights laws prohibited racial discrimination in contracting, and the federal civil service had been desegregated. Wilson undid this. He hired and promoted based on race, authorized, cabinet secretaries to segregate their facilities, and required them to collect data so they could be judged by the success of their racism.

Democrats portray Republicans as racist and fascist. When he introduced Kevin McCarthy as the new Speaker of the House, Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries promised that Democrats would put "American values over autocracy." In the midterm campaign, Biden claimed the election of Republicans would end democracy, while former President Barack Obama warned it would be the end of "true democracy." Both regurgitated the canard that voting rules equate to voter suppression. This demagoguery hides an ugly truth: Biden is the most autocratic president since FDR, and the most racist since Wilson.

...

The White House, Justice Department and other federal agencies harass, suppress and censor those who disagree with administration policy.

The president and his agencies repeatedly issue unconstitutional and unlawful mandates, and refuse to enforce laws they don't like.

While progressives excuse and encourage Biden's lawless actions because they advance a Woke agenda, courts throughout the country have issued injunctions to stop these outrages, declaring them "untethered" to the law, and an "anything goes" view of statutory interpretation.

Article I of the United States Constitution requires the president to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed," and in his oath of office, Biden swore to do so. Instead, like totalitarian regimes throughout history, the Biden administration rules by fiat, and then unconstitutionally and unlawfully uses its power to crush opposition.

...The DOJ also targets pro-life demonstrators, such as Mark Houck. In September, 20 FBI agents invaded Houck's house, pointed their weapons at him, and arrested him on fabricated charges under the Federal FACE Act for a minor scuffle during a pro-life protest. Houck's lawyer had previously informed prosecutors that Houck would surrender. Though a jury this week unanimously found Houck not guilty, the message is clear: pro-life advocates put their freedom, their lives, and their families' lives at risk if they don't shut up.

Parents who object to Covid shutdowns, Critical Race Theory, affirmative action, and schools' secretly supporting LGBTQI+ priorities, are speaking out at school board meetings. To close them down, the White House secretly collaborated with the National School Boards Association to write a letter seeking Federal assistance. Five days later, to instill fear in every parent who disagrees with the administration, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a directive to the FBI and U.S. attorneys to address the purported threats. ...

Despite being blatantly unconstitutional, at least 80 senior officials in 11 federal agencies, including the White House, Homeland Security, CDC, and FBI are engaged in a massive effort to block, demonetize, and suppress those who disagree with the administration on social media. Hundreds of restrictions suppressed those who discussed Hunter Biden's laptop, blamed inflation on Biden, called out Biden's touchy-feely behavior around women and girls, or otherwise criticized Biden. Many censored posts quoted Biden's own words, or played video of his previous speeches.
