Many believe Donald Trump is a serious threat to our democracy and that his apparent admiration for other dictators like Putin of Russia, Kim Jong Un of North Korea, and Hitler is highly unusual and alarming. Not unlike these ruthless dictators, Trump was unwilling to cooperate with a seamless transition of power after he lost the election in 2020, completely denying he lost despite no facts to support his claims. He then incited his loyal followers to storm the capitol, tried to convince election officials to "find" votes so he could overturn Georgia's election results, and continues to claim the election was "rigged". No other American president has acted like this after losing an election the history of our country. If Trump wins the 2024 election, many believe it is possible that he attempts to take over our democracy and transform our political system into a dictatorship controlled by Trump and his loyalists.
