I ask because I think that after less than six months of this administration, there are already many signs pointing in that direction. In addition, the incumbent president already attempted a failed coup at the end of his previous term in office.

    We’re definitely already an autocracy.

    I think the only thing separating us from a true dictatorship at this point is another 9/11-style event. If one of those happens in the next three and a half years, 99% of voters will be begging Donald to assume true dictatorial power. The 1% who criticize this in the moment will be labeled terrorist sympathizers, just as we were when the illegal invasion of Iraq took place after the 9/11.
