Zero is a de facto dictator now, so any SS fraud that he committed is now legal. Dictators are always legal during their dictatorship. They only come to justice after a revolution, a coup d’etat, or a defeat by a foreign enemy (and in the end of course, God’s judgement)
The fall of the American republic reminds me very much of Rome. You had proto-dictators such as Marius who centralized power via reforms through the army. Sulla entered Rome and became a dictator before he died. Of course, Caesar and Pompey vied for control with Caesar winning and assuming dictatorship. However, the emperor and the imperial system wasn’t established until Octavius won the civil war vs Marc Anthony.
The Roman constitution was basically unwritten and based on precedent. In a sense, it was “living and breathing” just as the Leftists see our constitution. Each precedent lead to more centralization and tyranny. The contestants would change, but the outcome of the battles really only
meant less freedom for the people.

Yes Sulla became a dictator before he died but he also resigned before he died. He died a private citizen.

You mean like the “crisis” created by our representatives and senators, and the president, then they claim that they are the only ones who can fix the mess they made, which results in more power for them and less freedom for us, today?
Noooooo, it can’t be, this is the 21st century, were smarter than that....right?
