(52,163 posts)in case anyone was wondering if the military would go along with donnie should he attempt to just become a dictator outright.
no i am not saying this act is comparable to an outright dictatorial coup, what i'm saying is that this is how it happens, with spineless people around him refusing to ever stand up to him, or getting replaced by people who are spineless, until eventually there is nothing left to stop him.
we laugh at how clownish he looks, and we keep laughing until one day we wake up and he is the dictator.
We keep saying "HE CAN'T DO THAT...something something Constitution", then he does it and we say "Hey, that's not fairrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
