Are you upset that you're just as bad at this as you say I am? You're mad that you got called out for the same bullshit that you discredit others for? It's not melodramatic to want to clarify the difference between living in and moving towards a massive regime change. The fact that the president is gaslighting the nation by constantly lying about his election, inauguration, and previous statements is a sign of oncoming authoritarian tendencies. So is attacking the press and doing so directly. He also has tried to discredit courts and judges who rule against him. He, on the campaign trail, called for his opponents to be jailed without any trial or evidence in court that she should be.
Sure, Nixon and Clinton degraded the office, but not because they can't read or form coherent sentences. Nixon killed thousands of people by extending a war and Clinton got some head, but they were civic minded men who acted with restraint when it came to the important pieces of running a country. They acted like a president, not a child.
