Quite frankly I do not think people like Majorie Greene or Steve King being stripped of committee assignments sounds at all like a dictatorship. If anything I think that sentiment is really insulting to opposition leaders in actual dictatorships, who are thrown in jail if not executed. I think the casualness in which that word is bandied about speaks volumes about how people in the West take their free democracies for granted and lack understanding of how most of the rest of the world operates.
