    He and the GOP have been shouting their intention to go full dictatorship for months now.

    It’s not sensationalized if its from the horse’s mouth.

        Roe v Wade is gone & Abortion Laws are in full swing.

        Net Neutrality was killed.

        Trump made an attempt at building the border fence, which he claims was because the wall was more of a security issue than a fence they could ‘look’ through.

        Trump attempted a Coup.

        Trump is not your wishy-washy, wealth-hording politician of yore. He is a power-grabbing fascist with literally no filter. He tries to keep quiet, but he’ll say the quiet parts out loud.

        If he had managed to maintain his office, he was basically inches away from gutting public education.

        And this was what he was doing to be ‘reserved’. He told his audience to ‘wait’ until he ‘won’ reelection at the end of 2020 in regards to ‘dealing with fauci’. Which implies there are other things he was waiting to do until he had secured his final term.

        The only reason his insanity didn’t happen all at once, was because of the initial whiplash between the old mask-on GOP and the new mask-off GOP. They lost out in the latter half of his presidency when the democrats took back the house.

        if Trump was certain he could have instated his dictatorship in his first term, he would have done it. The new GOP is not like the 90s GOP. There are certainly those who feign ignorance and dissidence, but when push comes to shove, they tow the line.

        Why would so many states have abortion laws ready to go? Why would so many states have complied in the attempt from Trump to steal the election?

        If you think the GOP is bluffing, you are not paying attention.

          They are absolutely bluffing and if you truly think there’s going to be some ‘dictatorship’, you’re fucking stupid. Our presidents already use their dictatorship power in Executive Orders, but no one seems to bat an eye at those, esp when it’s “Your Guy” that signed the most ever in his first 90 or so days in office.

      My favorite thing about this is somehow Biden has little power as president to materially change things without congress, even when he had a slim majority, but Trumps somehow single handedly gonna put democrats in camps. Its sensational bs thats never going to happen but you can use it to pretend you’re being victimized for being a liberal, you’re not.
