    Oh well, no skin off his back. Hes powerful enough to be insulated from his own misteps. Speaking of, I hope Obama still thinks of Libya.

      Nah dude, when Trump gets in, him and his supporters are going full on kill-list for libs and his enemies inside the country, I really don’t understand how people can’t see this. I’m absolutely freaking terrified of what’s about to happen.

        Are you being sarcastic? Because if you really think groups of people are going to run around with kill lists in America I’m going to need you to stop watching such sensationalized news. The President is not a dictator and Trump himself cannot simply make that happen unless literally everyone down the chain of command agrees with him and no one with political power stops him, and if everyone down the chain of command already wants to do that, then Trump himself isn’t needed to make that happen.

          Trump will become a dictator. That is obvious, and he said as much. He hadn’t even secured his 2nd term in 2020, and he was saying he deserved a 3rd term. The writing is on the walls. Wake up.

            If Trump had the power to become a dictator, how come Biden took office after him? What do you expect is different now? Where is Trump going to get this dictatorial power that is somehow unavailable to Biden? You’re consuming to much propaganda designed to keep you mad and scared to be engaged. Any president cannot do that on their own, again they would need the whole chain of command to agree with them and no one with the power of checks and balances to stand in their way. If there’s no one with those checks and balances and the chain of command already wants that, then Trump isn’t needed and the same thing will happen 4 years from now when the next republican gets elected. Please take a civics class.

            Trump said he’d be a dictator and he also said he’d build a wall, hows that wall going? Did Mexico pay for it yet?

                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?

                    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.

        Hey if you really think this is what’s going to happen, don’t rely on voting, get prepared to survive in the world you believe is coming.
