    No one’s saying he doesn’t want to be one, he can’t. The same way Biden cant even pass an infrastructure bill without gutting 2/3rds of it while condos and bridges fall down. Because the president isn’t a dictator and has to get congress to agree with him.

      You must be a troll account because I don’t understand how someone could be this naive. They tried to overthrow the government in 2021… And they’ll try again. I don’t understand how you can’t see that. Sticking your fingers in your ears ignoring reality won’t change reality.

      Remember them chanting “hang Mike Pence”? And up until the end, he was on their side… What do you think they’ll do when you’re not on their side?

        They tried to overthrow the government in 2021

        A bunch of morons walked into the capitol and then immediately fizzled out. They tried to overthrow the government in the same way that a Toddler tries to cook dinner. The intention is there but neither Trump nor his supporters understand the real politck enough to do anything significant.

        Ironically, keeping Trump relevant is the only thing stopping a highly motivated and smart fascist from using the far-reaching powers of the president, expanded under both the Democrats and Reps btw, to become a dictator.

        And they’ll fail again because their last attempt to overthrow the government was to smear shit on the wall of the Capital building.

        You still haven’t answered my questions, if Trump could be a dictator, how did Biden take power? All you’re arguements are what trump wants to be mixed with insults. Historically, Trump cannot do what he says, already tried to be a dictator, and yet the democratic institutions prevented it from happening, so again, how would that happen unless all those democratic institutions (the ones that transfered power to Biden) suddenly decided to agree with Trump? And if all those institutions did agree with Trump, then Trump isn’t required at all, and the bigger problem would be those institutions. The president isnt a dictator just because he says he wants to be. I want to live in a country that isn’t simply three weapons manufacturers in a trench coat, but just saying that isn’t going to cut it.

          Bro I’m done. I don’t have the energy to have a fun little fight, we’re not gonna change each others mind, you’ll log this as a ‘win’ in your book, smirking behind you’re phone or computer, I don’t really care. I’m in the middle of fixing my car and I don’t really care about fighting with you enough to keep going. Just remember this convo when you have a shocked pikachu face when shit hits the fan. Maybe they won’t succeed, but they’re sure as hell gonna try again.

        I’m on their side too. It’s a shame they couldn’t put Pence out of his misery for the good of humanity.

        Downvote me all you want. I guess you’ll be ignoring reality to the bitter end of democracy.
