His whole M.O. is stripping power from unaccountable Federal bureaucrats and returning power to the elected (accountable) State-level representatives. That's kinda the /opposite/ of tyranny. That's what he's really a threat to. Not democracy, but anti-democratic dynamics within the government. And, naturally, they're howling that the sky is falling. Theirs is. Ours isn't. But best believe they want you to think it's the end of your world, so that you'll defend them.
