So all of these obstacles that you list as reasons to why Biden is so ineffective - why didn't he just nominate an AG who'd give him a free pass to do anything he wanted - like Trump? Why isn't Biden bending the rule of law to halt fascism?
The answer is because you cling to "precedence" and "civility" so hard that you'd rather see a fascist takeover before a democrat disobeys your precious rules and processes that were set up by 30 year old slave owners. To liberals, the rule of law takes precedence over a fascist takeover. It is bizarre.
It's bizarre that the president isn't a dictator, because otherwise a president who's a dictator could be elected.
That's an interesting point of view.
So dictators are people who do the absolute minimum to halt fascism. Got it.
Dictators are those who exceed the normal constitutional boundaries of an elected office to impose their own will on a democratic system. Sorry that that's too complex for you to understand.
"Akshually sweaty, banning the leading fascist networking tool during a period of unprecedented fascism would make the president a dictator"
Good lord. Imagine being this lib. Even if Biden wins and we stave off fascism for 2024, it won't be long until we fully backslide if this the height of liberal analysis. Utterly toothless.
You have fun craving a strongman you can mindlessly bootlick, red fash.
