The vice president told a crowd of roughly 20,000 in Dallas that former President Donald J. Trump had said he would terminate the Constitution in a second term.

“Consider: Donald Trump has openly vowed if re-elected he’ll be a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies, round up peaceful protesters and throw them out of our country and even, and even and I quote, ‘terminate’ the United States Constitution,” Ms. Harris said.

    Which is somehow different than Biden refusing to give up power and drop out despite no one wanting him?

          Lol, yes it’s very different. A dictator is not an unpopular person trying to win a democratic election, or refusing to step down from a position they were elected into and still have remaining time in their term. He’s being stubborn, not a dictator.

          A dictator would be someone who doesn’t leave after losing an election, or who changes or removes the process of elections to remain in power. Among other things that Biden is absolutely not doing.
