Just so I understand all the people who think Trump wants to be a dictator. His plan was this:
Get elected. Check
Have both houses of Congress for the first 2 years Check
lose the midterm election so both Houses of Congress were the opposing party Check
Let a pandemic ravage the country and when all the people on the opposing side of the aisle are begging me to be more authoritarian, refuse Check
Allow elections to proceed so that there's a chance I'll lose Check
Lose the election then run an "insurrection" which had no possible path to keep me in power even it were wildly successful. Check
Run for reelection and if I get voted in THEN. THEN become a dictator.
That's the plan?
BTW lets say for discussion Trump wins this next election. Wins by the largest margin of victory in history. Every person in the country votes for him, he wins 200 million to zero. He's so convincing over the next 3 months even Harris votes for him. Wins every electoral college vote, every Republican who's up for election/reelection also wins because he has such strong coat tails. It literally couldn't be a better outcome from the Trump campaign's perspective.
What's path or mechanism in which he becomes a dictator. How? Just says it?
