    The D.C. dysfunction is more proof, they would argue, that the nation needs a “Red Caesar” who will cut through the what they call constitutional gridlock and impose order.

    If you’re not one of those dudes who thinks about Ancient Rome every day, let me translate. The alleged brain trust of an increasingly fascist MAGA movement wants an American dictatorship that would “suspend” democracy in January 2025 — just 15 months from now.

    It’s so weird to me that they think the person for this job is Donald Trump. After everything he has said and done, they think Trump should be the dictator of America.

      Because Trump is their perfect dictator.

      Their perfect dictator isn’t someone who’s ‘good’ for America, insofar as any dictator could possibly be good.

      Their perfect dictator is someone who makes them feel good about themselves. Their perfect dictator is a racist narcissistic moron, because they’re racist narcissistic morons.
