How successful would a Trump “dictatorship” even be?Republican state legislatures have been successful in getting reactionary xenophobic laws passed with no counter from the Federal Government under Biden.
Democrat run states are neoliberal hellscapes, sure (California homelessness and all) but Republicans have been unsuccessful in getting anti-abortion or anti-LGBTQ laws passed there and that won’t change under Trump.
Can they even describe what a Trump “dictatorship” would entail that is different from current repression? Roe V Wade is gone, COVID welfare is gone, tax cuts on the rich have not been reversed.
But Trump might bypass Congress to send weapons to Israel; Trump might threaten multiple countries at once, bringing us closer to world war 3; Trump might allow bands of right wing agitators to assault kids on college campuses with impunity; Trump might alienate everyone who doesn’t want genocide by accusing them of being terrorists; etc.
Obviously I don’t give a shit about civility but imagine being so offended by Trump’s rudeness and then deciding Biden is oh so civil. His entire campaign last time was basically just insulting people in increasingly bizarre ways (“listen fat, lying dog faced pony soldier, you ain’t black”) and his next one will have added angry, incoherent dementia outbursts.

No they can’t. At least not realistically, because they aren’t materially grounded. Its total idealism. A dictatorship of vibes basically
