At least you admitted he'd be more autocratic given the chance. Now who do you think is stopping him?  Republicans led congress? Trumps supporters? Exactly. No one that can. Dems aren't in power. They can do nothing about it. As long as his supporters allow for his autocratic moves, as long as the Republican led Congress turns a blind eye to them, then what you have is a Dictatorship.

It's nice to think we have checks and balances stopping this, but if those checks and balances aren't being used.....
