Sadly, yes.
This is exactly what he promised to be, but nearly anyone that voted for this (maybe didn't (most were warned and screamed 'lies') ) read the fine print, they keep swearing it's going to be ok.
There's no way to back down from being a dictator on day one unless you abdicate the throne.
It doesn't seem to have happened willingly, and peacefully since the days of Rome in antiquity.
We only have the history books to verify that even those were truly voluntary and not a forced move.
he also updated, and said you voted for what i campaigned, on deal with it.
Well, technically... we have an example in modern Spain of an (almost) peaceful and willing transition without abdication:
Other than a failed coup attempt by a faction of the military who wanted to go back to the previous system, it was a reasonably peaceful transition from full dictatorship, to a "parliamentary monarchy".
It can be done, if people are willing.
(PS: an abdication came much later, because of some not fully transparent money deals and tax evasion schemes, leaving his son as the new King)
You're using almost to get your argument across. Almost to the point of adding to my point.
Tl;dr Dictator 1 is dying, and on the way out, without full abdication crowned a king, who stepped down to crown a prince.
They seem to be a parliamentary monarchy.
