I'm not so good at history but I know that former President Trump specifically announced he wanted to be a dictator but "only the first day." He has specifically announced his intent so I believe him.
We've all heard the same joke but pertaining to wishes: If you could have any wish granted, what would be your wish? Answer: Three more wishes. So the first day of dictatorship would be to declare a permanent dictatorship.
I like living in a democracy, I like respect for the military as I do not believe that those who die for our country are losers and I think John McCain was a hero during his 6 and 1/2 years as a POW, I do not condone making fun of disabled people or calling a woman "a dog," and I think it is the right of a woman to determine if she wishes to undertake/continue the high risks of pregnancy.
I'm in favor of the non-Caesar option too.

Between the Olympics and the nominees/elections, I haven't seen any news mentions that today is August 6, 2024 and the 79th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Nagasaki was bombed 3 days later on August 9. Lots of people were killed - nobody knows exactly how many but it seems it was well over 100,000 and quite possibly more - and many more were acutely injured and/or suffered long-term adverse effects of exposure.
There was a war on and the powers that be thought this the best way to end the war. I don't know. It seems to me the date and the event are worth remembering and taking all possible steps to avoid any repeat.

I watched much of the Republican convention, thought it was a well-run event, but it seemed kind of light on concrete policy plans and people who would be in Trump's administration if he were re-elected.
I've watched the Democratic convention the last two nights. Or at least the TV was on (Channel 200-1 on DirecTV shows the entirety without interruption) while I multi-task. I'm glad to see a positive and hopeful mood. A month ago, who'd of thought this would be the current cast of characters?

I watched both conventions so it's not a surprise that I also watched the debate. This "Debate remix: They're eating the cats" is straight from the horse's mouth, hard to believe if you hadn't seen it to know that these are the exact words. I wouldn't have believed it if I had not actually seen the debate. The mix is well done and really funny. BTW, all the income from the streams goes to the SPCA animal shelter in Springfield Ohio. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BrCvZmSnKAWhatever your political affiliation, music and animals unite us! We have more in common than differences.
