I consider myself more libertarian right but I am inclined to agree. If the people can't choose to not be insane, country-burning communist psychopaths, dictatorship is the only option.
I've bounced around what I consider myself, but I think that I've needled in toward having a small government that holds enough power to keep society going in the right direction. I can't agree with a lot of libertarian tenets because they're self-destructive in the long term. The system needs to maximize liberty while still being sustainable and not collapsing into totalitarianism.
I would suggest that Trump could suspend or ‘interpret’ the 22nd amendment and continue as Chief Executive under some other title (possibly taken from Confederacy of the States, Civil War, or WWII eras). Perhaps Head Of State duties could be handed off to another official like Pence or the New House Speaker. I’m sure there’s a set of lawyers in a D.C. basement who could argue it out.
They could also skip that part and run it through a newly-scoured clean congress process, perhaps even electing Trump via state delegations.
True, but it’s not a dictatorship if Trump gives up all powers after an honest election. It’s merely emergency crisis management during a time of war.
Right, but I mean a legitimate dictatorship. That's better than a fraudulent Biden presidency.
Biden is a vessel of Chinese dictatorship.

This is basically how Rome went from a republic to an empire.

Who would take over as president until those 8-12 months? Pence?
Yup. Pence is actually the big guns. Always has been.
