Especially since he feels he might be among the autocratics.

An autocrat can do wonders for a country - think Napoleon Bonaparte, during his first tenure. However, his return as Napoleon first, and then the reigns of his son, Napoleon second and that of Napoleon third were not beneficial. He had outlived his usefulness. (Much like Margaret Thatcher in her third term in office in England.)

Of course he would, most religions are an autocratic regime, one guy controls the flock, what they hear, see and feel.
This is what I hate about religion. Falwell, graham, etc. have NO business in our government.

Is there such thing as a oh brother emoji. That might go over well on this site. That would fit this post.

So did his father.
