Anyone with half a brain cell knows that he is a pathological liar. And even worse than being a pathological liar, he's a pathological "truth bender". At no point is he lying, and at no point is he ever telling the truth. This gives him a method to worm his way out of any verbal snafu he found himself in. He learned it by emulating his sociopathic father, and he taught his children the same trick.
In that case, let's hope he's an absolutely incompetent idiot who will fail fast and spectacularly or an old guy who will die fast, so that when he's gone people all agree that this wasn't a great political experiment and all join in together to rebuild the political system much better than before.
When has the death of a dictator by old age ever defaulted back to democracy? There's a lot of people helping him, I'm sure more than a handful are eager to step into his shoes.
He doesn’t need to normalize it. Anyone demented enough to still support him wants him to be a dictator. The only difference is whether they can admit that to themselves or not.
Seriously. He'll absolutely use this as an excuse to boot. He'll continue doing dictator things because his shitheel people will react so positively...
I feel like saying you'll only be a dictator on day one is just saying that a dictator doesn't abdicate power, and a dictator on day one is always a dictator until death.
Basically he's been publicly accused of being a fascist (he is) and a wannabe dictator (he is) so many times in the media, that it's starting to lose all meaning. He knows that if you repeat a lie enough times it becomes the new truth, so he's just word salading his way through to next November. None of his supporters care, and nobody who has been anti-Trump is surprised.
Sean Hannity: "You're not going to be a dictator, are you?"
I honestly wish it was as hands down as that. What he said appeals to exactly the kind of people it was directed at....and there are so SO many of those people out there. Majority? I don't know; and that in itself is a problem....it should be absolutely obvious that a significant majority of people aren't aligned with him. But its not.
I'll betcha this ends up working to his advantage somehow.
fucking depressed myself with my own comment. I'm going to go take an Ace Ventura style shower
Yes, and the strategy is basically: the courts/activists/army didn't let me do what I needed to do, so I'll have to extend my dictatorship until it's sorted. Then it never gets sorted.
