If Trump or DeSantis win, do you think they could become dictators and not leave office? And if they did , are you ok with that? I really think that these people voting for them don`t care. They would live under a dictatorship as long as it was a Republican.

As long as they get white, christian minority rule they are fine with a dictatorship.
