As an American that has to live in the same country as the Felon, that's a wise move. He's not really a fan of asking permission, but he is a big fan of authoritarians, especially fascist ones.

Somehow the voters didn’t see it that way. I just don’t get it how that was even possible. Didn’t the voters already know what kind of person he is?
They voted for him because they know what kind of person he is. A scary proportion of American voters are explicit supporters of fascism.
And the rest can't be bothered to learn what fascism is and why they should care. They have some vague sense that their relative privilege (erroneously) is enough to weather anything.
Sounds like a recipe for disaster. By the time Americans realize their home land has turned into a tyrannical dictatorship, it’s already too late to fix that. Democracy would have given them a peaceful way to do it, but they didn’t use it.
