I don't think that's a problem. Even if they didn't plan to begin their dictatorship now, Biden had immunity and didn't do a goddamn thing with it. Democrats don't do anything.
POTUS immunity wasn't a blanket grant of absolute power. It was just the same BS immunity that cops get for what they do as cops.
Dunno if you noticed, but cops pretty much have a blanket grant of absolute power...
Close to it, maybe, but police can't do a whole bunch of things. Like hold you forever without trial, or arbitrarily rape people with no consequences. Or shoot judges whose rulings they don't like
What they get away with is outrageous, but it's not quite "absolute power "
lol, k. If you live within 100 miles of an international port of entry, your rights are suspended as soon as anyone says "National security".
Really?

And how infrequently rape is even charged, yes, they can, and do.
Sure they can.

Cops are the only ones with guns in courthouses!
And if ordered to do so, by the president, nothing to be done.
For practical purposes, it is. Their only constraint is to not attack the ruling class.
Are you really trying to round up from "suck" to "tyranny"?
If you're not white, or cis, it's already been "tyrrany".
