I agree. Every move being made to consolidate Trump's power must be viewed carefully in the way you have described: What happens when (not if) the power passes into the opposition's hands. The impeachment effort was a prime example. Everything the D's warned about happening if the totally partisan Clinton impeachment went forward became true in the totally partisan impeachment of Trump. The pendulum swings in America. The power was made to be passed, not hoarded for generations. What you reap, you will sow. Power you could not imagine the other side having should not be ceded to ANY individual faction, lest it come home to roost when the pendulum swings back the other way.
