Trump saying he'll be a dictator only on day 1 is the strategy of normalizing it. (lemmy.world)

Just make it so normal that people accept it.

And for others they can say "he's joking, like he was always joking"

He doesn’t need to normalize it. Anyone demented enough to still support him wants him to be a dictator. The only difference is whether they can admit that to themselves or not.

Seriously. He'll absolutely use this as an excuse to boot. He'll continue doing dictator things because his shitheel people will react so positively...
