He is, difference is that he is already dictator unfortunately
I would love to hear an example.
He won’t have one.
Biden sucks, but isn’t a dictator and anyone claiming as such is acting in bad faith.
Gas prices
Please explain how Biden controls the gas prices, and how him controlling the gas prices constitutes a dictatorship.
Bad economics
Gas prices are high world-wide.
The reality is that the states that control the supply are in between a rock and hard place, and I truly feel bad, don't envy them one bit . Saudi, Iran and even Israel to a degree are simultaneously fighting to maintain their state power beyond being an old glorified oil/gas refinery plant, towards becoming a productive collective, staying relevant in the 21st century and also playing their cards well by selectively withholding oil for purposes beyond tanks and rockets is tough and puts pressure on them to innovate in ways that not only threatens the status quo but also the usual backwater terrorist types who they've been battling the last decade or so
That doesn’t explain why the price per barrel is cheap and the price at the pump isn’t.
What about bad education?
Well, that must've happened before Biden if it now makes people think the global gas prices are a sign of US president dictatorship.
That isn't the definition of a dictator.
Biden make nunber go up me NO LIKE
Damn your president is raising gas prices in my country too I guess, that asshole lol
Gas prices are high because of supply cuts in Russia and Saudi Arabia and heavy flooding in Libya. Biden has expanded domestic oil drilling at an even higher rate than under Trump, but it takes time for these wells to begin production. In fact gas prices are expected to drop below $3 soon.

None of that makes Biden a dictator.
