Napoleon decided that he should rule France. So, after his coup de’ état he became the self crowned Emperor. His ruling philosophy included the idea that if anything was good for the state, it wasn’t illegal. He justified everything he did while he was Emperor, using this as rationale.
Now, doesn’t that sound familiar?
Trump just stated the exact same thing, to justify everything that he wants to do.
Some people have voiced concerns of the country becoming another Nazi Germany, but I would be weary of it becoming like France under the rule of Napoleon.
In both cases, the United States of America would no longer be a democratic republic.
The Constitution would be nothing more than an old piece of paper holding no meaning, what so ever. The 3 equal, but separate, branches of government would cease to exist.
The government by the people, and for the people would really be by the rich white people, and for the rich white people.
The only hope is that Trump endures the same fate that Napoleon saw. Emperors and Empires don’t live forever.
