Trump Declines to Back Away From ‘You Don’t Have to Vote Again’
www.nytimes.com
The former president, in an interview on Fox News, declined to back away from his comments and repeated his argument that if he’s elected, “the country will be fixed” and their votes won’t be needed.

The weirdo is being really explicit that the Republican party is going to convert the country into a Guided Democracy — a form of dictatorship where elections are held but how people vote doesn’t impact who holds power — much like Russia is today.

    Why give the benifit of the doubt when this is a repeated pattern across his statement

    When asked to denounce claims of him being a dictator, he said he’s “only be a dictator on day one”

      This is exactly it. Trump is very good at saying just enough so that we know what he means and his followers know what he means while maintaining plausible deniability when confronted with his own statements.
