Both siders will definitely have this response. Thr hardcore MAGA loyalist will cheer it on because they're really just bloodthirsty and want a dictatorship

They can try, but some real rowdy people will make that nigh iimpossible cause they don't tolerate a dictatorship or even taking orders from another man that aint helping them getting paid.

We have it here in America. Anyone that enforces a dictatorship around the world, needs their head pushed in.

So, America supports and enforces dictatorships/autocracies in:
  • Egypt
  • Morocco
  • Jordan
  • Bahrain
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Chad
  • Togo
  • Cameroon
To name a few. So when are you going to squabble up with the American government?

I don't support Trump. I'm a pan-Africanist socialist. But you support American backed-dictatorships.

Why?

Upon research this has little to do with north korea. That is a red harring. He did this to block off the national assembly, and arrest his opposition. Its an attempt to become dictator…this needs to be stopped…
The article I read pretty much pointed that out.

Me? Support a dictatorship? According to Bothsides Coli, I am a Jamaican tether. If you know ANYTHING about Jamaican people, we never had a dictatorship. We even had Fidel Castro shook in all 6 decades he ruled Cuba. It's just not in my blood to say "yes massa" answer bow down to another man.

South Korea gonna find out they not like their Northern Counterparts.

That’s even more embarrassing for you.

You do know the CIA armed Jamaican gangs in the 1970s to destabilize the Manley government? They tried to assassinate Bob Marley too.

Why do you support America again? They destroyed Jamaica!

I don't support a damn dictatorship. That's the bottom line. No one respects a damn dictator that has dignity as a human being.

But you support a country that arms and funds dictators and that funded the gangs/posses that ruined your native Jamaica?

Manley was too close to Castro, and he paid dearly with that. Don't get comfortable with dictators, left wing or right wing. Authoritarian figures is what I dont tolerate. I don't blindly defend America, just that I dont defend anyone calling all the shots.
