So America is officially a dictatorship now?

[OliverQ]

There doesn't seem to be anyway to stop this. The American people should have taken to the streets in mass ages ago. At this point, Trump is now a dictator/king and Republicans will never face any consequences.

1. I HATE comments like this...

I know people's emotions are high, but I've LIVED in a dictatorship and this is NOT one, if for no other reason that people here can post comments like this.

Last time I checked, the Democratic House hasn't been forcibly dissolved, and Trump and the Republicans are subject to the voters' opinion in the next election.

2. Ok, how about a Monarchy?

5. Unless Princess Ivanka has a hereditary right to take over, it's just as foolish a comment.

7. +1. Checks & balances are weak now, but this is not a dictatorship. Over-hyperbolizing big mistake.

12. This, hyperbole doesn't help

If this was a dictatorship, sites like DU wouldn't exist and we'd never be free to criticize the orange idiot openly.

We live in a democracy with a corruption problem.

3. No. No, it's not. Calm down, there's still a lot to play out here.

6. thank you

The shit is really going to hit the fan now. The interference of a foreign government into our election is not going away. tRump is going to get his, he is a con artist a celebrity TV ass.

8. At its heart yes, a con artist. I know it's frustrating for everyone that for every step forward we

take, it's often 2 steps back at times, but I think the truth will come out, the only question is how fast. There are so many fronts that Trump is having to fight on, the forces of good only need to win a few for the dam to crack.

10. :) If you think so, suggest you get the hell out of DU Dodge.

Don't bother erasing your history; they'd have it if they came for us. The best defense is obviously going to be proactive -- rush to surrender before there's reason. That way hopefully the file will be marked: Estimated threat level: 0.

11. Yes,
