BS. The concentration of power to the executive has been extremely bipartisan. The road to Trump abusing power was paved by FDR and Obama.

Who said anything about Democrats vs Republicans? Do you just have your replies locked and loaded, and you look for comments they sort of fit with?

Regardless of your obvious both-sides agenda-pushing: there were still elections after FDR. There won't be after Trump, at least not in any meaningful sense.

Even if you're imagining that all the presidents worked together to set the stage for the death of American democracy, then that makes them accessories, not murderers. Trump is the one murderering democracy.
