Goes right along with this from FP..

https://foreignpolicy.com/2016/11/23/ten-ways-to-tell-if-your-president-is-a-dictator/

Never mind.. I looked It up on Chrome..

1) Systematic efforts to intimidate the media.

2) Building an official pro-Trump media network

.3) Politicizing the civil service, military, National Guard, or the domestic security agencies.

4) Using government surveillance against domestic political opponents.

5) Using state power to reward corporate backers and punish opponents.

6) Stacking the Supreme Court.

7) Enforcing the law for only one side.

8) Really rigging the system.

9) Fearmongering.

10) Demonizing the opposition.

That's just it. he's not my president.. he's their Dictator.

Resistance.
