Think Donald Trump isn’t really serious about being a dictator? Think again

Trump has always flirted with the idea of autocracy.

But now that flirtation has become a full-on embrace.

He has threatened to weaponize the Justice Department against his political opponents,

gut the civil service system to replace professional federal employees with loyalists,

invoke the Insurrection Act to put down protests,

reinstitute his ban on Muslim immigration

and incarcerate millions of immigrants in detention camps.

If you don’t think he’s serious, you’re in denial.
