It would have to be a "right wing" dictator. A republican dictator would not care what the long term effect would be on any actions taken against the interests of the country, so long as he could become a lobbyist or develop financial investments in selling out our interests.
Must first orchestrate a Reichstag fire in order to get this done.
A conservative dictator should destroy the constitutionally indefensible federal powers now being exercised by the corrupt federal government. Destroying such powers will hopefully destroy any incentive for the next politician, either conservative RINO or liberal, to try to win the Oval Office for the purpose of exploiting those powers.
Note that a conservative dictator would probably have to unofficially work with the states to get citizens up to speed on the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers in order to destroy unconstitutional federal powers, powers which the states have never expressly delegated to the feds via the Constitution.
Once such powers are destroyed, the Oval Office could possibly become a way to honor a respected retired military leader who, like General George Washington, is still willing to serve the country.
People breaking the law (The Constitution) is the problem.
If you focus on the meaningless cosmetics instead of the hard problems of making the government lawful, you miss the point.
Saw a thread about what W thinks of Bill Clinton today. Who cares about that cosmetic crap? Neither can run again.
Focus on REAL problems with lawlessness starting in DC.
That's hard.
Easier to gritch about cosmetics, like what someone calls themselves.

That ain't the way we roll, yo.
In the US: Conservative = original intent Constitutionalist.
But you already knew that . . .
>>Easier to gritch about cosmetics, like what someone calls themselves.
How a person self-identifies is not cosmetic. That is at the very core of their being. Look at your pride in being a “Texan” as proof. If America needs people to think of the nation and everyone retreats back into their different identity group to start demanding that another identity group do the sacrificing, then we wind up with the kind of nation that we have today.
The lawlessness in DC starts with different hyphen groups demanding THEIR bigger slice of the pie.
Why else would it be called a dick-tator?
The Constitution is a document written by formally named representatives of the people, reviewed in public by other elected representatives, and acceded to by the member states by a majority vote within each. However high-handed that may have seemed at the time (and George Mason certainly thought so) it was not at any point dictatorial. Were we to attempt to dictate our way back to that we would find we'd destroyed it in the process.
That does not mean that a governmental machine created by executive order may not be demolished by it. But even if we had a dictator with perfect wisdom the people would still be in the position of sitting back and saying "Do right, O Wise One" instead of making up government for themselves. I'm not suggesting you can't get there from here, I'm suggesting you can't get there by taking a road that leads elsewhere.
Actually, the “right” of Federal workers to belong to unions IS an EO, which can be discontinued at any time.
So is the EPA.
Nope. There's 100 years of Liberal treachery to justify it.
Getting rid of liberal Republicans is hard work, but it helps bring government back to something lawful. Liberal Dems have to have help from liberal Republicans.

The Constitution was only applicable in a country with borders with an educated, civic minded people who were used to working for a living. No longer applies....
Sad reality.

Adopt the original Constitution, ban slavery, and abdicate. The Constitution would have to have add-on’s to handle obvious evil interpretations that have been imposed on it by the Court. Sort of an “I really mean it section.” I can think of a lot of places for I really mean it. But you get the general idea.
A dictator would not be a conservative if they reigned as a dictator. He would be a progressive who finally got the power he has lusted for.
The Liberals’ worse nightmare is President Ted Cruz with a telephone and a pen.
Issue an executive order banning the EPA from enforcing any of its rules.
any president that is not a democrat would be attacked, charges filed, and impeached.
the left doesn’t worry about the opinion of the press...
First edict would be to ban freepers who post ridiculous “what-if” trolling questions.
