yeah - conservatives dont want democracy. they arent “of the people, for the people”. They want a king. they long for a life long monarch to tell them what to do.

There's a really important distinction that I'd like to make here.

They want him to be king so he will tell us what to do, and if that includes them, so be it. But it's more of them causing harm to us, that's the value they see in it.

FDR got four terms, even after putting 120,000 American citizens in literal concentration camps. Nothing should surprise us at this point.
