Donald Trump has said that he will not become a dictator if he becomes US president again except “on day one”, after warnings from Democrats and some Republicans that the US was in danger of becoming an autocracy if he wins the 2024 election. Fuck, well at least he’s honest on this statement

        He won’t have one.

        Biden sucks, but isn’t a dictator and anyone claiming as such is acting in bad faith.

          Please explain how Biden controls the gas prices, and how him controlling the gas prices constitutes a dictatorship.

                The reality is that the states that control the supply are in between a rock and hard place, and I truly feel bad, don’t envy them one bit . Saudi, Iran and even Israel to a degree are simultaneously fighting to maintain their state power beyond being an old glorified oil/gas refinery plant, towards becoming a productive collective, staying relevant in the 21st century and also playing their cards well by selectively withholding oil for purposes beyond tanks and rockets is tough and puts pressure on them to innovate in ways that not only threatens the status quo but also the usual backwater terrorist types who they’ve been battling the last decade or so

              What about bad education?
              Well, that must’ve happened before Biden if it now makes people think the global gas prices are a sign of US president dictatorship.
