I would say it's more accurately described as fascist infighting, though even to that extent, some of it may be more aesthetic infighting than real material changes. If everyday liberals were fully aware of what democrats do with power, they would not be thinking it's such a drastic difference when it's republicans instead.

That's not to say there's nothing different about how Trump goes about things, but it's less different than it's made out to be.

As for the US constitution, it's one of the biggest scams in human history. It was drafted up by genocidal slave owners and it took immense struggle and loss of life (most especially from the most marginalized), among other minor things like a fucking civil war, for the country to even get to a place where women and black people had the right to vote. The idea that the US invented some kind of special form of democracy is nothing more than western chauvinist superiority complex drivel. If the US is exceptional in anything, I'd give it credit for being the birthplace of some of the best and brightest minds in con artistry, with a system that facilitates their rise to the top. The so-called "checks and balances" that people worship are mostly just mechanisms that make reform from within all but impossible, by making it too logistically complicated and unwieldy for anyone but the white supremacist, imperialist elites to have the power. When it comes time for an actually important (to the elites) decision to be made, such as more money for bombs, those "checks and balances" are nowhere to be found; the decision is easily done and virtually never obstructed in any meaningful capacity from within the system.

That's why it's so easy for them to do what they're doing. Because they're still acting in the interest of the white supremacist, imperialist elites; or at least in the ballpark of it as a faction, even if there are sometimes disagreements on how the world should be carved up and what method will be most successful.
