When Do "Lock-Steps Become "Goose-Steps"?

Answer: when elected Representatives "rubber-stamp" administration's dictates and the self-appointed "guardians of Democracy" (The Press) blindly accepts administration rhetoric as fact.
A democracy functions when skepticism prevails over blind faith and when checks and balances are exercised: tyranny flourishes when they are not.
Everyone has climbed onto the "bandwagon" for a hellacious ride; and no one has an idea as to when or where it will end.
Democracies have been subverted before and can be so again. Our representatives have been blindly following this administration's dictates for the sake of party discipline; afraid to raise legitimate arguments for fear the Party's power will be lessened.
This reticence to question policies does not serve the Party in the long run and does not serve the people well at any time, present or future.
