It's not a coincidence that all our allies lost faith in us during the Trump Presidency and the biggest question Biden has to answer is "how do we know this isnt going to be reversed in 4 years if Trump gets back in?"

America is not immune to dictators. It all depends on the political education of the population. Right now, a dictator appears to be a 40-60 split in this country. 60% are still firmly against a dictator, 40% probably don't understand what they are supporting. A piece of paper (the Constitution) is meaningless to a dictator as are the laws of the people.

a dictator is not possible as the power of this country is not centralized. How would a dictator get around the states rights issue's that is something the majority of people strongly believe in. Even if someone could convince the majority of people a dictator would be good you would still have large and powerful states that would not fall in line. That would lead to civil war and the person who starts that would not last very long in a position of power. There is no way a dictator could actually rise and have the power to actually be a dictator as congress, the people and the states would all have to align to make it happen. You seem to think our system is weak.

You know what dad, I am not so sure you (and so many many others) putting your life on the line was worth it, look what America has leashed on the world, TRUMP.
“For day one”… Hello ? You only need one hour to change EVERYTHING forever !
Of course not. And we have been discovering of late exactly how easy it is to slip into dictatorship. The very fact that there is no constitutional ban on organizations that would seek to overthrow democracy or on parties seeking to undermine or abolish the democratic principles we have established ensures that this can happen, theoretically. What is needed is immediate, thoughtful revisions to the Constitution, updated to plug the gaps that have been exposed in the last 10 years, in order to establish a militant democracy. Some examples of constitutional changes include: Article 46(4) of the Portuguese Constitution provides that “armed, as well as military, militarized, or paramilitary associations, and organizations that are racist or endorse fascist ideology, are not permitted”. The first paragraph of Section XII of the Transitional and Final Provisions of the Constitution of the Italian Republic provides that “it shall be forbidden to reorganize, under any form whatsoever, the dissolved Fascist party”. Article 21(2) of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany provides that “parties that, by reason of their aims or the behavior of their adherents, seek to undermine or abolish the free democratic basic order or to endanger the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany shall be unconstitutional”.
djt does not make a competent president, agreed, but there's the cabal of people, like Stephen Miller, who are much more competent, who would be named to positions of power, who would continue to tell him what to say, and would be able to tell him what to do as well.

Most dictators were VOTED IN under the same conditions we have now. Empty, simplistic slogans and promises which appeal to citizens looking for easy answers to complex questions, accusing your opponents of your own crimes, brown shirts I.e. your own vigilantes committing acts of violence, scapegoating humans that are different from you and calling them "vermin" are all things that Hitler and Trump has done. Project 2024 is a plan that is fascist.
The people supporting him have sold their souls, the others have lost their minds.

It is nonsense to think that the congress of today would change the situation: The Republican-MAGA-bunch blocked the law making process now since more than an year!!! So he would also support Trumps wishes for dictatorship law changes, especially those as far as the army is concerned. Republicans who are the opinion that the Constitution of the USA still has it's value, must vote together with the Democfrats. VOTE BLUE!!
The stregnth of the US Constitution lies only within our willingness to abide by it.
Forget the "Good Will", America needs to put laws in place to prevent another donald Rump in the future!

Covid happened during his watch so he had everything to do with it on the way he handled the pandemic. He blew it. And it's what he plans on doing this term and what he did when he didn't want to turn power over during the last election. How he tried to keep top secret documents after being asked to return them over and over again. How he tried to get 11thousand votes out of thin air. Now he wants to play victim. Funny how he claims Biden is using the judicial system against him when he's the one who appointed some of these judges.

The difference this time is the government will be loaded with lackeys and Flying Monkeys from day 1. At least last time he at least started surrounded by some normal people that he had to dispose of, not this time, there will be no handbrakes

Indeed, our Founding Fathers designed our system of government such that the House should be the ultimate check to the Office of the President. At least, this is what I learned in my High School Civics class.

And Claire, I noticed that you happened to put in a few OPS about Oregon's Elections also. In Particular, US House D's 3&5. AKA: maxine dexter & janelle bynum. I believe you referred to them as "Moderates?" Now i couldn't really tell if you thought this was a positive or a negative, but i think we can both agree - the WRITING WAS ON THE WALL on those 2! They were taking Action .314 $$$$, & many suspect they were being funded by AIPAC, who conveniently didn't have to disclose until just the day b4, but i have YET to learn whom! Funny how that worked. Bottom line, the others weren't accepting big dollar, big donor, non-transparent DARK $$$. Just pretty much those 2! And their ATTACK Ads against their Oppos were just NASTY baby, just abominable & so unbecoming for OUR Party, i literally had to take extra antacids! But here's the thing, Powerful groups, probably AIPAC, are absolutely spending big in races that have especially the More/Most - Progressives, because who they fear the worst, is the SQUAD! - Especially the longer bebe keeps committing GENOCIDE On Palestinians! The right of the Party has always disliked the SQUAD, but Aipac is now especially desperate to run them out. So people like Susheela Jayapal & Jamie McLeod-Skinner, who ran only PPL funded, small dollar, pretty clean - campaigns - never really stood a chance. Gawd forbid, PPL who refuse to be beholden to ANYONE other than their OWN Constituents, well, how dare they!! Character just doesn't seem to matter any more, its just a trough of BIG $$$ - who can smear your Opponent the 'best.' Oh but of course, maxine assured us that she was going to put her nose down & work to get rid of non-transparent superpac funding - AFTER she gets to DC! People don't even seem to get, that it was THE SQUAD, who pushed Biden the hardest, for so many of the Programs that were to be part of the BBB, remember that, the Build Back Better - Care Economy, that was supposed to be a more Women & Children & SENIOR - centered Companion piece, to Infra 1 (known more broadly as - the jobs for men - Bill)? Most things didn't make it thru, but some of it did AND we mostly have THE SQUAD to thank for such! And instead, PPL just can't wait to run them out on a rail. Well SHAME, SHAME ON ALL OF THEM. SQUAD SAVE AMERICA.

Americans are more of professors making them know too much on too small. That things like woman needed no clarification but now with democrats taking the lead you have to be specific ( trans-woman/ cis-woman). Humour used to be a thing of literature and entertainment but not anymore.
If you think the department of defense will not act against American citizens, I refer you to the history of the United States with respect to the bonus marchers. The military was used to break up protest encampment by American World War I veterans asking that their promise bonuses be paid early because of the depression.
