He IS a dictator, but American laws prevent him from misusing his powers to the extent he wants to. Even repealing most of them is going to take a while. (Plus, he is far too incompetent to do much but bluster.)

[@tammykeller6097]

Why won't the law punish Trump? Could it be that he's innocent? Or have you lost faith in your legal institutions? If that's so, why haven't you seen change under the Biden administration (or are they just not considered responsible for anything at all?). I mean the DOJ wasn't afraid to go after Trump (in clear Fascist fashion) legally to discourage him from running for office. Dem supporters aren't opposed to hold Trump to account for the insurrection but they are opposed to holding Harris to account for inciting assassination attempts on Trump. This is all just MSM propaganda to keep Americans fighting against each other to distract from globalist agendas in play (UN, WEF, WHO, to name a few). So, let's get to the question: which candidate is more likely to fall prey to globalist agendas? Which candidate is more likely to lead America into a world (perhaps even a nuclear) war? Which candidate is responsible for allowing dissidents into the US from other war torn countries; who have protested on one side or the other on American soil over issues related to conflict in their home country? Which candidate is willing to sacrifice the rights to safety & fairness for women & parents in favour the minority rights of the LGBTQIA++ group (under the pretense of serving inclusion & diversity). Who wants "more woke, not less" - further dividing Americans into gender groups? Which candidate is willing to sacrifice American prosperity in favour of addressing a concocted environmental "crisis"? On the environmental crisis debate, are homeless & poor individuals more or less likely to care about the environment? Is the poorer nation more or less likely to pollute the environment? Good grief, expand your perspective for crying out loud. Think of the long term damage this administration is doing to your culture and society. Be afraid of Fascism because that is a real threat - but for God's sake, learn what that is before labelling one candidate over another.

[@camelsheit_on_the_walls446]

The serious question is this: *_WHY is USA allowing trump to run for his dictatorship!!?_* ​This question is not about all the legal (and practical, and ethical) reasons there should be for a convicted felon, a seditionist, a person found liable of sexual assault, and an ex-president who messed around with highly classified documents showing/selling them to who knows who, to not be allowed on any ballot. (There are arguably more than enough reasons for trump to already be imprisoned and, at the very least, be prohibited from running for president.) All this, and more (e.g., his questionable cognitive state), is clearly a big and serious question in itself. The question I'm asking here, however, is about how a country can allow someone the opportunity to turn the country into a dictatorship. It has been obvious enough for quite some time now that this is trump's intent. He has been broadcasting about it himself for the whole world to see/hear. Coupled with the existence of the truly nefarious Project 2025 and all the people behind it, and coupled with the Supreme Court's (more appropriately called the Supreme Corruption) extremely dangerous immunity ruling, this has become even more glaringly obvious. And it is far too real a threat. Still, trump has not been removed from the ballot. Thus USA, literally, is seemingly fine with giving the destruction of USA (and it won't stop there, sadly), which includes stripping people's rights from them and flushing democracy down the toilet, a fair chance in this election. In other words, where there should be guardrails in place to protect the country and the people from domestic terrorist attacks, the country is instead opening a door to, and potentially welcoming, what would be the largest and most horrific domestic terrorist attack in its history. Saying that this is crazy (and immensely irresponsible!) is putting it mildly. It should also be noted that the threat would be virtually the same without trump, as long as people like those behind the Project 2025 are allowed a chance to get in power. Had Haley been the so-called republican candidate, she might not have been voicing dreams of retribution and vengeance, nor been talking about being a dictator and praising the despots and dictators of this world, nor promising that you won't have to vote again if you just give her your votes now... but she would have brought the Project 2025 with her into the White House. I've posted the above a few times already, and two persons from the UK commented that this could never happen in their country. My reply was/is: While it also might seem doubtful that this is something that could happen in my home country, Norway, no one should take for granted that they are immune to it. If the immensely unwholesome trump phenomenon has created a few silver linings in the rest of the world, it's that it is serving as a warning. Norway, pointing to Poland, Hungary, and USA as examples of how wrong things can go, has concluded that it is necessary to implement changes to our constitution. To better safeguard our courts from political interference, populists, and coups. Highlighting that it is imperative to do so now when the political landscape is relatively peaceful and the courts independence is not in question. In other words: to prepare for eventual future events of the more chaotic kind while the means and the consent to do so are present. Of course it would be wonderful to see similar positive and necessary steps being taken elsewhere as well.
