    I dont recall any recent president or serious canidates claiming to be “dictator for a day” or “use the miltary to go after radical left lunatics” or you know, actually attempted to insurrect and overthrow democracy once and plans on doing it again.

    But oh yeah tottally a normal everyday election.

      Oo! Or had the supreme court declare it’s okay to commit any crime you want as long as you’re president. That’s new!

      I’m also sick of the hyperbole from campaigners too but you’re right. A LOT has changed that can undermine a lot of fundamental freedoms we take for granted.
