And I was told I was “stupid” to compare the Trump Admin to a dictatorship. I was told I clearly didn’t know anything about dictatorships if I would make that “stupid” comparison.

Well I grew up in USSR…. We were told USSR was a democracy and best country in the world. My guess is that Americans got tired of democracy and chose to try something else to see if it works better…. And it surely may :-) When USSR collapsed - many people who lived under Stalin praised how great life was under him compared to Gorbachev. They had evening they needed at good price they said.
