I am sure you agree that Obama has acted more and more despotically. Trump has said he do the same to reverse what Obama has done, not to bring the last tyrant to justice.

Yet you call it pretending Trump will become a despot. The only pretense are those who don’t admit we are already there.

I’m with you if you want it reversed. But by any means necessary does not fit well with a constitutional.

So you think the republic is dead? You may be right. However, don’t pretend to us that you don’t want a dictator. You already said as much, when you argued that Trump wouldn’t be saying what he has “if he didn’t already have a plan to coerce such cooperation.” That is why I broke my silence.

See: COERCE is the word YOU chose. You find it appealing.

Fine. Now be man enough to own the fact that you believe a tyrant is okay as long as he acts as you think is fit. This was Free Republic last I looked.

No more than you pretend Trump would be, or Obama is a "dictator."

It's one thing to use hyperbole; it is another to believe it.

Correct.

However, you err as to "why" I choose said word.

I believe goodwill and comity are absent among the current generation of our ruling class. Most especially of our opposition. And as in any war, one must take arms apropos to the battlefield upon which one finds themself. Only with victory can one return to the dictates of common civility.

Finally, your preposterous assertion that an Executive erasing the overreach of a previous Executive is somehow overreach of itself is to conflate the illicit violence of the crime with the authorized violence of the law, and is not worthy of serious consideration.
