Dictator… don’t think so

Lyle Northey (Silent/Boomer)

The idea of having one person rule is as arcane as you can get. Most of the citizens of this nation have a problem listening to their parents, their teachers, police officers, religious persons, employers, customers, if they are in the military their NCO’s and Officer’s and their spouses. Based on the lack of cooperation given to any and all of these mentioned individuals it is hard to imagine that they are going to do well with a one man show.
There is a concept of control that says most positions of power are capable of managing 3 to five units. Generally a unit is considered a single individual and if that is the most that is known to be controllable then how is a single person going to control an entire country? It may happen but it will mean that very many extremely brutal people will be employed to make sure the leader’s wishes are carried out or at least some semblance of his wish is carried out. This is the case in all of the dictator-run countries of the current world, the ruler may think he has control but he is just a puppet the real power belongs to those that “serve” him.
These people stay loyal only as long as they see that the loyalty serves them. Are they allowed certain freedoms that they would not otherwise have? Can they commit crimes with immunity, is their lifestyle much better than other peoples?All these differences are important and they will be kept secret even if they must kill to insure that.
Prisons will be filled with all that have in any way been known to be anti the person in charge. That person’s family may be in as much jeopardy as he is and have no choice in the matter. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and we definitely saw that with Trump. His desire to rule is the force that is driving him at present and will continue to drive him till the day he dies.
The idea to be a dictator is an ego trip that with luck will end when someone decides that they have had enough of his bull and decides to do him in, sooner as opposed to later. Every dictator needs to be eliminated in one way or another with the most violent method that the oppressed can think of.
All the issues with his being able to run much less serve are to be settled by the supreme court. This is a very unsound arrangement in that Trump appointed 1⁄3 of the court and they may feel that they have to give him his way. If they made this and issue in a special election for all to vote on and the results of the vote give yes or no to the problem.
It is very unlikely that the majority of this nation’s populus will want to give up their way of life to be run by a dictator. If it turns out that they do then it’s time to move out of the country to somewhere else that has more to offer.
The results of this vote would also be used to determine if the members of Congress that supported Trump will remain in as well and to cleanse the Supreme Court of dead wood, all that choose to listen only to the people that wish to turn back the clock.
