I thought that was corporate mono/oligopolies and corruption, not radicalism...

Nothing wrong with that

What do you mean? He didn't "let" it happen, this is nationalist conservatism working as intended.

Trump isn't a dictator, no matter what the media tries to tell you. He can't control any of this.

The keyword being "can't". He's not a dictator, he just failed.

He literally is and can. This was all intended. It was planned. There are tweets and posts saying this was going to happen on December 6th. They made merch for it. They did it on purpose.

He is not a dictator, he's a half baked populist. The only way he can become dictator is if he dismantles the 3 branches of government and makes himself the sole authority.

That's kind of like saying a person is only "murderous" after they've already succeeded at murdering someone.

Well technically they are not a murderer until they kill someone. You can make a case for "aspiring dictator", but I personally don't think it went that far.

[Shaddy]

You're only looking at dictator as an active role rather than a personal quality, though. Second wikipedia definition says a dictator can be a person behaving in an autocratic manner, which totally does fit. He certainly acts and believes like he deserves ultimate power, whether he has it or not. I think you know I'm not literally claiming he has 100% authority over all persons in the government. I'm not sure I've seen anyone claim that, other than the man himself.

They contradict themselves so frequently, and rapidly, I don't know how anyone can ever believe anything they say. (talking about Twitter itself)
