[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 412606, member: 35"] Trump said he'd only be a dictator on day 1, which was a reference to the executive orders he plans to issue. Issuing executive orders is something all presidents have done. As for the Trump Presidency being "the end of democracy," that's a reference to Trump inciting some of his supporters to storm the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021. Although Trump asked them to be peaceful, it was his calls for them to protest at the Capitol that ultimately led to the insurrection. It's a valid complaint against him, but the system ultimately prevailed and the peaceful transfer of power took place. Trump still believes the election was stolen from him, but this isn't the first time a US political party or their candidate has tried to delegitimize the results of an election. That is precisely what Russia-gate was about, and Hillary Clinton said directly that Trump was an "illegitimate president." As for Harris, she became her party's nominee for president without going through a primary process. Of course, that was after she and her party covered up Biden's mental incompetence for years. They only threw Biden under the bus after the primaries were over and his condition was finally revealed publicly at the debate. Personally, I find their concerns dramatic and hysterical myself (not to mention hypocritical.) Trump doesn't care about democracy, but the Dems don't either. I'm not thrilled at the prospect of a 2nd Trump term, but I'm not concerned about democracy or a dictatorship. What concerns me is that Trump will likely put even more conservatives on the Supreme Court. Beyond that, I doubt his presidency will be much different from Biden's (except maybe kissing the ass of Netanyahu and wealthy elites a little more.) The Dems would likely win decisively if they tackled income inequality, ended the wars, secured the border, and reigned in corporate greed. Sadly, they've become a party of neocons. [/QUOTE]
