I don’t know why Biden didn’t just go full dictator like Trump. Dictators that do the thing I want are actually good and there’s absolutely no possible repercussions.
I mean, I’d love a dictator who says “You must value trans rights as human rights, or to the Gulag with you!”, while running labor camps for… CEOs who underpay their janitors.
If a democrat went dictator they would immediately have the DOJ, entire media ecosystem, and courts united against them because those that support the democratic party recognize dictators as bad.
If “full dictator” is defined as ignoring established law to enact their agenda, then Biden did go full dictator multiple times. Most notable is how he circumvented established law in order to continue sending lethal aid to genocidal Israel.
And you’re right, Biden going “full dictator” does have negative repercussions. Trumps’s illegal actions are somewhat normalized by the illegal actions of his predecessors.
I just wish for once a president would go “full dictator” for the working class and not for the billionaires and genocidal regimes.
I understand that questioning your liberal worldview can be painful, but thought-terminating clichés like “whataboutism” do a disservice to rational discussion.
It is not whataboutism to discuss how Trump’s illegal actions are enabled by his predecessors’ illegal actions.
It is not whataboutism to point out the Biden administration routinely circumvented the Leahy Law in order to continue the genocide in Palestine.

He’d have my vote!

Waiter, this whataboutism is cold

especially since Israel has gone from ethnic cleansing to simple genocide by bomb with Trump in power.
