You might want to read a little history of the presidents for real examples of dictator-like behavior, from Democrats and Republicans.

Idealizing Duterte, Kim Jong Un, and the leaders of Russia and Saudia Arabia and creating concentration camps for kids while shitting all over our friendly democratic leaders from UK, France, Canada seems like a good start at becoming a dicator. What makes other presidents more dictatorial, I'd like to know.

  That's one view through the leftist lens, but at least you ended your comment with an appropriate question.

    What is the "leftist lens" here? Salvadorans [0] and Guatemalans [1] want to know why their citizen has died while in USA custody under curious conditions. When USA citizens die under custody of North Korea [2], or when USA citizens die under state actions orchestrated by the USA [3], we are upset and wonder what has happened; is that an inappropriate response here? It is confusing and dismaying that we are not getting a clear insight and understanding into how the USA government is managing its camps on the southern border [4].
