The two tipping points for when we officially become a dictatorship could occur this week

 The two tipping points for when we officially become a dictatorship could occur this week

1. Defy Supreme Court - The first way the Trump regime openly becomes a dictatorship is by directly defying a Supreme Court order.

Today, U.S. president Donald J. Trump met in the Oval Office with the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, along with a number of Cabinet members and White House staff, who answered questions for the press. The meeting appeared to be as staged as Trump’s February meeting with Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky, designed to send a message. At the meeting, Trump and Bukele, who is clearly doing Trump’s bidding, announced they would not bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home, defying the U.S. Supreme Court.

2. Deport Citizens - The second way we officially become a dictatorship is if the Trump regime can accuse any American citizen of being so dangerous as to justify being sent to a foreign prison, without any independent court reviewing the regime’s evidence.

During Bukele’s visit today (April 14), Trump made clear he’s also considering sending American citizens to prison in El Salvador

"The homegrowns are next," Trump told Bukele in the Oval Office. "You gotta build about five more places. ... It's not big enough."  Bukele appeared to answer, “Yeah, we’ve got space.” “All right,” Trump replied.

But Geidner of Law Dork noted that Trump’s declaration this morning that he wanted to deport “homegrown criminals” suggests that the plan all along has been to be able to get rid of U.S. citizens by creating a “Schroedinger’s box” where anyone can be sent but where once they are there the U.S. cannot get them back because they are “in the custody of a foreign sovereign.”
