I ask because I think that after less than six months of this administration, there are already many signs pointing in that direction. In addition, the incumbent president already attempted a failed coup at the end of his previous term in office.

A true dictatorship or autocracy requires a competency level that this administration lacks. They will likely try but be laughably incompetent at it.
If Stephen Miller had more power, we should be worried, but he’s the only brain within 1/4 mile of this administration.
People like Miller are terrifying.
You think Hitler was the mastermind behind the German reich?
Hitler was Einstein compared to anyone in the U.S. admin right now. I mean, fuck Hitler, but he wasn’t a dumbass.
He had his guys as has your President.
I think the difference is Hitler was smart enough to listen to his guys. Trump thinks he’s the smartest guy ever and probably ignores his guys quite often because he thinks he knows better.
So… draw out your response and either say “Actually, Hitler was also a moron.” or “You’re right, Hitler was way smarter.” Otherwise you’re responding to something I didn’t say.
We need to invent a new term for whatever it is we are now. Something that defines “horrible excuse for a government chosen by the idiotic masses”
I think that i started to feel this in the years of Reagan’s presidency (I lived and worked in Europe in those days). Still a little hidden then, it seems to be blatantly obvious now, they no longer try to hide it.
And that is what concerns me. I’m from Germany btw - it feels almost like a flashback from history class.

It will continue to be the oligarchy it’s been for decades.
We’re definitely already an autocracy.
I think the only thing separating us from a true dictatorship at this point is another 9/11-style event. If one of those happens in the next three and a half years, 99% of voters will be begging Donald to assume true dictatorial power. The 1% who criticize this in the moment will be labeled terrorist sympathizers, just as we were when the illegal invasion of Iraq took place after the 9/11.
