Well, look at what we have here. Look who called Joe Biden a dictator. It was none other than Sleepy Joe himself! If you remember, back in 2020 when Biden was still on the campaign trail, he said during an interview that legislating through executive orders is wrong and doing so was unacceptable “unless you’re a dictator.”
“No, well, I’ve gotta get the votes. I gotta get the votes. That’s why — you know, the one thing that I — I have this strange notion. We are a democracy. Some of my Republican friends and some of my Democratic friends even, occasionally say, ‘Well, if you can’t get the votes, by executive order you’re going to do something.’ Things you can’t do by executive order unless you’re a dictator. We’re a democracy. We need consensus.”

Biden’s actions during his presidency have been a complete reversal of his earlier promises. Instead of working with the legislative branch to make amendments to legislation, he has decided to rule through executive orders. He has defied the wishes of the American people, as well as those of their elected representatives. Even more astonishing is the fact that he and his regime have attempted to justify their actions by claiming that only certain executive orders would be suitable for a dictator, despite having signed multiple orders that circumvent congressional authority, such as those relating to gun control, COVID policies, abortion, and climate change.
Biden has chosen to take the easy route and govern by fiat instead of working with Congress to create real change. This blatant disregard for the democratic process is not only detrimental to the nation’s constitutional structure but goes against the tenets of free and just governance. Biden’s actions must be scrutinized not only by the opposition but by all Americans so that their liberties are not trampled on by a power-hungry administration. The people must hold the federal government accountable and ensure that justice is served when the basic democratic rights of the people are neglected.
Don’t believe me, just take a look at his own words:
“I announced an executive order on gun violence to intensify our work to save lives. It will keep firearms out of dangerous hands, takes every lawful action to move as close to universal background checks without new legislation, expands awareness about red flag laws, and more.”

“This Court has made it clear it will not protect the rights of women. I will. That’s why today I’m signing an Executive Order to protect access to reproductive health care.”

“I’ve called on Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, but Senate Republicans have stood in the way of progress. That’s why this afternoon, I’m taking action and signing an Executive Order that delivers the most significant police reform in decades.”

Executive order, executive order, executive order.
There are also some really dumb ones that will be reversed like…
Today, I signed an executive order directing the federal government to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
