is it though? to a great extent they are all wannabe dictators. neither trump nor biden are respecters of rights. both seek to delimit and interfere with commerce. trump is the one who shut the country down and railed against governors who wanted to stay or re-open while printing and flinging money in true banana republic style. biden is clearly absurdly lawless in nearly every regard and took what trump started and made it far, far worse.

i agree with you that trump gets oddly singled out by people supporting even more dictatorial options, but this does not exonerate him, it just makes him the lesser of evils.

what are we to call this bi-partisan repudiation of the idea of the republic is not a slide toward dictatorship?
