i’ve seen explications before, but i’m open to the possibility that you have a novel theory that is testable, falsifiable, and valid.

No one in the government should say “I’m going to dictate policy that I have control over, but this policy can be overturned by the other two branches. Thus, I’m a dictator.” That’s not what that word means. You are trying to use a nonspecific definition out of context to justify defending a wannabe dictator.
i’m not defending a wannabe dictator. i’m explicitly saying i think trump’s stupid, and i don’t believe he meant “dictator” in the same sense that you insist he must have meant it.

i think he’s a dummy, and he may be operating on my folksy definition of “dictator”. my assumption is just as valid as yours.
so it’s dumb to say it that way, but i don’t believe he ever said he’s planning to “end democracy” or even meant to imply that.
Both abstaining from vot8ng and voting third party are mathematically equivalent to voting for a capitalist
no, they’re not. calling your storytelling “math” doesn’t change its veracity.
it’s a problem on .world, too, including their matrix instance.

To link executive orders to a dictatorship shows a misunderstanding of executive orders, dictatorships, or both.
Also, in the quote of being a “dictator for just one day,” executive orders were not mentioned
no one is accusing trump of being a knowledgeable statesman.

I’m a leftist and I don’t vote for capitalists or war criminals.

terrorism is a crime. you use police to deal with crimes. investigate, get a warrant, and bring them to a judge.
no one is promising to end democracy
you don’t care about anyone other than yourself.
this is a leap of logic
You see, people don’t have to answer you to still be correct.
no, but a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, and any claim made in such a way should be doubted until it is evidenced.
Hamas could end hostilities today by returning all hostages and surrendering its leaders to an international court.
there is no reason to believe that. the wall would still be there. palestinians would still be subject to arrest and imprisonment without trial. they would still suffer under a blockade.
the hostilities have never ended since 1947.
you are a hero
