Idiots who try to steal profiles should be pulled apart by horses.
Yes, it would.

Yes, it would.
And, as I pointed out, no civilisations have made it that far, either, so I don't find your point as comforting as you do.

No, dipshit, he enforces it - as SO many others have pointed out here - by using its power over federal apparatus, mainly by cutting off cash. XOs do have the power of law in that area, as the article you are cherry-picking does point out.

My point with North Korea - they are proving that it isn't common but that it can be done - so far.

The longest running of modern times would have to be the Kim dynastic dictatorship in North Korea, I believe - 1948 to 2025 and still going.

"Both executive orders and proclamations have the force of law, much like regulations issued by federal agencies, so they are codified under Title 3 of the Code of Federal Regulations ..."

What Is an Executive Order?
One of the most common “presidential” documents in our modern government is an executive order. Every American president has issued at least one, totaling more than (as of this writing) 13,731 since G...

At some point is a very amorphous concept which can be multiple generations away, so this may go on longer than any of us would even realise. No dictatorship lasting since the beginning of history is not that comforting as a great deal of the civilisations that spawned them have disappeared as well.

The Trump regime is taking numerous steps every day to lock Vance in as his follow-up. Peter Thiel and his ilk expect returns on their investments. It's real. You can read about it in papers every single day.

Starry-eyed bullshit.

Because they'll adapt to whatever the situation is at the time. No one can foresee where Federalist Society freaks will go to support whatever Trump wants to do, but you can rest assured that they exist and will do it. If they find the right code words to appease SCROTUS, it'll be signed off on.

Yep. It'll take decades to even try to undo what he has done already, given GOP court control and such. Any attempt to reverse his policies will be ruled unconstitutional by the Roberts Court.

Sure, bruh, that's - generally - the accusation that everyone has parroted like it actually stops anything, as Trump has done pretty much what he's wanted to for the past few months. All the empty, starry-eyed bullshit epitomised on here sure as fuck hasn't stopped him.

Yeah, no one can answer that.

Yep, this is what all these internet badasses never want to answer. The one dude that was "I'll act like a free person" ... okay, all the people in El Salvador did that, too, until they ended up in a foreign prison. 🤷♂️

No, it simply does not. History points out myriad dictators that have died on satin sheets in luxury beds, and to suggest otherwise is somewhere between disingenuous and dishonest.

I have high hopes. Recent "The Best Horror of the Year" anthologies just have not scared me, which is the cardinal sin in horror anthology editing.
