That comment, "A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable" is part of the title of an essay in today's Washington Post by Robert Kagan.

Here is a link to it:

It may be behind a paywall. Sorry if you cannot read it. Sorry that every person in the United States does not read it.

Just a few quotes:

“Like people on a riverboat we have long known there is a waterfall ahead but assume we will somehow find our way to shore before we go over the edge. But now the actions required to get us to shore are looking harder and harder, if not downright impossible.”

"If an asteroid were hurtling toward Earth, would we not try everything we could to stop it? Even if those things required sacrifice? Even if they might not work?"

"...we continue to drift toward dictatorship, still hoping for some intervention that will allow us to escape the consequences of our collective cowardice, our complacent, willful ignorance and, above all, our lack of any deep commitment to liberal democracy. As the man said, we are going out not with a bang but a whimper."

you're an imbecilic douchebag.

:truestory:

stop whining.

trump is the one who's NOT a totalitarian.
 
Within society there is always a percent of deplorables.

A percent that given access to power, will seek to impose their views over others, and that percentage has largely been contained within major religions.

Religions, via necessity, put 'belief' over fact and science and that is recipe for intolerance and a desire to dominate to force your worldview, which you tell yourself is a 'moral imperative'.

Trump, like many cult leader, dictator wannabes has shown that number to be about 30% of the population.

That coupled with very real voter apathy can present a challenge to democracy and currently it is. That said, i am confident the more apathetic, should Trump become the candidate, will wake up and find the motivation to make a choice in their own self interest.

Sounds like more far-left conspiracy theories to me...

What a dreck of an article that is! So, an op ed piece by radical Leftist Robert Kagen in the Leftist newspaper the WaPo, decries that Trump is likely to win the presidential election in 2024 and that he will be a... wait for it... dictator!

Kagen offers nothing in support of this argument other than vague generalities, argument from repetition, and worst of all, even invokes argumentum ad Hitlerum.

In Weimar Germany, Hitler and other agitators benefited from the squabbling of the democratic parties, right and left, the endless fights over the budget, the logjams in the legislature, the fragile and fractious coalitions.

Trump administration will be filled with people who will not need explicit instruction from Trump, any more than Hitler’s local gauleiters needed instruction. In such circumstances, people “work toward the Führer,”
(from article in OP)

Kagen also invokes comparisons to Caeser taking power in Rome, Napolean in France, hell, even the fictional King Kong isn't left out of this rant. The radical Left is scared that their power will come to an end in 2024 and is pulling out all the stops to try and keep that from happening. The problem is, writers like Kagen have turned to such insane hyperbole that it almost becomes parody rather than serious journalism. No example, claim, comparison is too extreme. Trump must be stopped or the Left is doomed, so the Left tells us. Well, I for one see this as a good thing. Fuck the Left.

Children think of the world as 'for me' or 'against me.' It is also paranoic.
 
Trump said he would purge federal workers he sees as insufficiently loyal to him.
Appoint a prosecutor to go after Biden and his family.
If I see someone on left doing well,I will indict him.
I will purge the deep state as I see it.
I will gut the justice department of non loyalists.
Reuse stop and frisk
I will deploy the national guard to cities as I see needed.
I will move the homeless to inexpensive land staffed by healthcare workers . Move or go to jail.
This is what the Trumpys want.

You mean the end of the Biden dictatorship and a return to the Constitutional Republic is inevitable.

You attempted to overthrow the United States - you have failed in your effort.

You fucking assholes of the MAGA right would reinstall Hitler if he came back to life. I almost hope you people get your wish. Lemme tell you what would be the result:

No.

That's the point.

When Trump returns, so will the rule of LAW. Equal Justice will be restored as the guiding principle. No revenge against the Nazi democrats, but prosecute those who have committed crimes using LEGITIMATE proceedings with fair and impartial jurists. Expel corrupt scum like EnGöring from the bench and let justice again live in America.
