    “It sets a shitty precedence…” is a gross minimalization to attach to effectively making the US be a dictatorship. And saying you’re ok with a dictatorship because you happen to agree with the dictator is the kind of sentiment that cannot be left unchallenged/unexamined

      Right?

      And it’s incredibly short sighted.

      So, in 4 years, will the next dictator be just as “good”? What about the next?

      Also the whole “To save America” is literally the exact same reasoning used, and even believed, by the other side. It’s circular at this point, one is better, but the other thinks THEY need to save America just as much.

      It’s a real fucked situation.
