    Fascist Dictator
    Authoritarian Ruler
    Despot

    Get your terminology straight … this isn’t medieval Europe

    Once the Executive Branch feels as if they can be held in Contempt by the Judicial Branch and continue to act for the nation, all bets are off, and we are no longer functioning as a Constitutional Democracy. There’s no law that matters, as it’s no long bound by anyone able to enforce it. The very position of President no longer carries any meaning, neither does that of Congress, or The Supreme Court. When one side of the Triangle breaks, it all falls.

    I get it, hope and all that, but I feel like this is just inevitable. We’re all going to just watch it happen and the media will mostly not fully acknowledge it for fear of losing revenue… I really don’t even expect to have proper midterm elections. 2 years is a long fucking time when they’re setting the stage for dictatorship in the first month.

    Stop using king to refer to what Trump is trying to become and use accurate terms like fascist dictator. I guarantee that Trump loves being referred to as a king and all you’re doing is boosting his already massively overinflated ego.
