Jordan Klepper did a segment on The Daily Show last night (it's on YouTube) where he talked to Trump people and they want a dictator or a king. They come right out and say it.
To be fair, most Democrats do too. They just want a dictator that is going to do the things they want, like banning certain forms of speech, or taxing billionaires out of existence.
Not many people really, truly want a lost constitutional framework where a consensus needs to be reached, and compromises made, in order to do things.

The user doth projects too much.
It seems like they drink their own Kool aid on the both sides isms that they get worked up and think it's a race. I only want a dictator because they do too, and I've got to get my guy in first.
I don't want ANY dictators. I don't want a president that can just make decrees because congress is deadlocked, regardless of whether or not I agree with those presidential decrees!
I'm agreeing with you, that last part is a projection of people who think that way
