Furthermore, I love the caricature of Trump of being at the same time a near senile bumbling kleptocrat while also playing 6D chess to align the powers of the federal government into a dictatorship.
Even given that, you'd think this would be a solid argument for a limitation on federal powers but no, somehow it's still necessary to vastly increase the size and scope of said government.
You keep saying dictator. Orban isn't a dictator, and neither is Trump. You haven't read the stuff I've sent you and it shows. Autocracy and kleptocracy take many forms. The EU classifies Hungary as a "hybrid regime of electoral autocracy". Orban rose to power by getting elected and then hijacking and undermining previously democratic institutions (the free press, the judiciary, parliament, civil service), rewriting the constitution, and purging civil servants for loyalists. No, Trump won't be able to do these things to the extent Orban has, but he sure would like to, and he'll do his level best.

The old guard of McCain/Romney conservatism is gone. It's go time for Don's autocratic and kleptocratic ambitions. He's said as much (3 terms!, Orban lust, power of office to pardon federal charges, etc), proven as much (2 billion to Kushner from Saudi Arabia, massive tax cuts for the wealthy,

You're being swindled into voting an anti-democratic Orbanist kleptocrat into office again, this time with a plan.
