The word "dictator" comes from the Roman Republic, where it was meant to be only for temporary usage. Then Caesar just didn't give up the power. When challenged he marched his armies into Rome. Now whenever we use dictator, we use it to describe the actions of people like Caesar, rather than it's original use case.

Emergency powers have always and will always be abused.
