Maybe a poll should be taken with these questions.

If Trump or DeSantis win, do you think they could become dictators and not leave office? And if they did , are you ok with that? I really think that these people voting for them don`t care. They would live under a dictatorship as long as it was a Republican.

And many of their voters would rather be told what to think than use their critical thinking skills to make their own decisions.

Think for themselves, and like being told what to think.
