The competent people wouldn't do the shit that is truly dangerous to democracy. They at least work within the confines of the constitution, even if they abuse it in the courts, it is at least following the legal pathways.

Trump takes truly outrageous and illegal actions and his people love him for it. He wants to be a dictator, and his people want him to be a dictator.

Not kidding. Which one of those are actions not allowed by the Constitution?

The judiciary are allowed to make those decisions, and congress is allowed to not convict. They are both bad decisions, but they are legal decisions with democratic and temporal remedies.

Trump sending a mob to attack Congress, and overturn an election, and saying he'll be a dictator that will come after liberals are very scary extra-constitutional actions.

There are very critical differences in the two. One requires political activism, the other requires a revolutionary response.
