Sure, the grift was on from day one, but mostly, the first administration seemed to try follow the legal processes, even if it was quite corrupt and extremely right-wing and incompetent.

This time around, he's trying to be an outright dictator blatantly ignoring the law and the constitution.

So yeah, he's getting pushback. Good.
