    It’s bizarre that the president isn’t a dictator, because otherwise a president who’s a dictator could be elected.

    That’s an interesting point of view.

        Dictators are those who exceed the normal constitutional boundaries of an elected office to impose their own will on a democratic system. Sorry that that’s too complex for you to understand.

          “Akshually sweaty, banning the leading fascist networking tool during a period of unprecedented fascism would make the president a dictator”

          Good lord. Imagine being this lib. Even if Biden wins and we stave off fascism for 2024, it won’t be long until we fully backslide if this the height of liberal analysis. Utterly toothless.
