How absolutely, fundamentally un-American to have a tyrant illegitimately installed over America, and for him to be worshipped by many republicans as, in their words, a "god-emperor."
Such Royal, Inc. snakeshit is exactly what the USA was founded get free of. As world history makes painfully obvious, tyrant government sucks for everyone. Everyone that is except the "elite" sitting on their freaking solid gold toilets, eating "beautiful chocolate cake," playing with their putters, and fracking the freaking planet to greed-driven smithereens while climate chaos rages.
Yet now republicans, with the aid of their russian money-mob cronies, are overthrowing democracy in America in support of a deceitful, amoral, and mean-spirited tyrant with pretensions of royalty and faux religiosity. And to this republicans meekly surrender and assume the position as submissives. Some sick anti-freedom, un-American, weak-willed crap there. I'm just not having it.

(15,543 posts)"A tyrant (Greek τύραννος, tyrannos), in the modern English usage of the word, is an absolute ruler unrestrained by law or person, or one who has usurped legitimate sovereignty. Often described as a cruel character, a tyrant defends his position by oppressive means, tending to control almost everything in the state.[1][2]
"The original Greek term, however, merely meant an authoritarian sovereign without reference to character,[3] bearing no pejorative connotation during the Archaic and early Classical periods.
"However, it was clearly a negative word to Plato, a Greek philosopher, and on account of the decisive influence of philosophy on politics, its negative connotations only increased, continuing into the Hellenistic period..."
