Yes, you imagined that Karl Rove was going to take over the country and create a fascist dictatorship.  When that didn't pan out, you began to talk about Scott Walker or someone doing the same thing.  You now imagine that Donald Trump will fit the bill.  I think the only constant here is your constant desire to imagine a fascist America.

I am pretty sure I know the actual reasons for why you do this, but rather than rehashing them at length perhaps you can simply find another outlet for indulging them.  The Man in the High Castle is a pretty good show, maybe you can wallow in it instead.

Anyone who bypasses or short-circuits the checks and balances of our Constitutional system is a menace to our democracy. Tyranny in any form is abominable whatever the name or its techniques of power. I do not care whether the tyrant is a monarchical despot, a Party boss, a military strongman, or a dictatorial President -- that tyranny is an abomination.

The lobbyist-controlled Congress is as much a problem as Donald Trump.  Since when have lobbyists been elected? Are they responsible to voters?

Well said, and these are not imaginary dangers now as SomeGuy seems to think. They are not inevitable, but only if the people now awaken, rise up and oppose this man and his Party.
