These are not my “pet definitions” but accepted definitions of what a dictator/dictatorship is in the political sphere. It’s called context.
can you substantiate this claim, that governing by dictate is not an accepted definition"in the political sphere". while we’re on it, what do you define as “the political sphere”?
i think he’s a dummy, and he may be operating on my folksy definition of “dictator”. my assumption is just as valid as yours.
so it’s dumb to say it that way, but i don’t believe he ever said he’s planning to “end democracy” or even meant to imply that.
That’s not what a dictatorship is. A dictatorship is where one person (the dictator) has almost complete control over the government with few, if any, restrictions.
they are literally creating policy by dictate. your pet definition seems crafted to exclude this obvious use of dictate.
To link executive orders to a dictatorship shows a misunderstanding of executive orders, dictatorships, or both.
Also, in the quote of being a “dictator for just one day,” executive orders were not mentioned
no one is accusing trump of being a knowledgeable statesman.
people argue if Biden made material compromises with leftists and progressives then moderates and liberals wouldn’t vote for him.
they didn’t say they believe this
with the rise of executive power from executive orders, every president is a dictator say one, rolling back previous administration policy and implementing their own.
no one is promising to end democracy
Because I don’t live in a swing state my lack of voting for Biden does not support Trump
i live in a swing state, and my lack of voting for biden also does not support trump. only a vote for trump supports trump.
you are a hero
The president does not have carte blanche to just eliminate hundreds of billions of dollars in personal debt with the swipe of a pen.
yes, he does. the supreme court has no enforcement mechanism. they’re the only ones who said he couldn’t do it.
