Description

P&C drink Skipjack Pilsner and then wonder what in the world is going on with all this talk about Trump the dictator.

The boys evaluate the liberal narrative that Trump is an authoritarian dictator and find it woefully lacking.

The "big one" from the liberal side is January 6 and the claim that the election was stolen. There is some validity to that claim, but it's exaggerated. A lot.

The bottom line is that an authoritarian dictator would have behaved very differently.

Trump has been accused of trying to overturn the 2020 election, calling the press the “enemy of the people,” and promising “retribution” against his political enemies. But are these actions truly unique? Or are Trump’s critics holding him to a double standard?

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the “dictator” narrative:

Did Trump actually weaponize the Justice Department, or just use it like his predecessors?

How do his actions compare to Obama’s “Russia hoax” strategy or Biden’s push to censor online speech?

What defines a real threat to democracy — policy overreach, rhetoric, or selective enforcement of the law?

And what would it mean if Trump really does return to power with plans for “retribution”?

We explore the accusations, the double standards, and the uncomfortable question: Is Trump a dictator — or just the mirror reflecting our own political hypocrisy?
