Honestly I think fears of a dictatorial takeover are way overblown. Not that I think he doesn't want to, I just think he can't, and even if he did I think it'd be 5min before he was shot by someone close to him (probably one of his own "security" team tbh.) And if that fails then a $100 price on his head and a greenlight is all we really need to get the job done by a private citizen, hell increase the reward and some of his own supporters will join in, they have no scruples.
I'm not saying we should vote for him, I'm just saying I don't think we have to worry as much as some people think we do.
Sure like I said I'm not saying he's great, I'm speaking specifically on the oft repeated line "it'll be the end of democracy."
Basically: I doubt that.
