Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
are you suggesting trump hasn't? i'm just using your criteria to answer your questions, my guy. calm down.
No, you aren't.
Yeah, I am. The Dems just crushed hm last night. Do you think he rigged that election? Get serious.
He really, really tried. He threatened legal action, sent intimidation to the counties he thinks will "vote wrong," he tried to force mass disenfranchisement of political opponents, he pulled multiple "heads I win, tails you lose" legal arrangements for contested races, he has sown doubt about non-existent widespread election fraud, he tried to overturn an election, he pressures Georgia to "find him more votes," he constantly prosecutes his political opponents on bogus charges that never stick...
I could go on. Do you live under a rock? He's only not controlling this election because he failed. They badly wanted to rig things in their favor, forever. Project 2025.
Edit: oh, right, I left out offering bribes to vote in his favor and instructing state GOPs to gerrymander as hard as possible, while contesting blue states doing the same. Trump is a dictator, he's just bad at it.
first, the question was "Literally name one dictator that hasn’t suspended democratic processes.". so i named five. then you changed it to "interfered with democratic processes". vote buying, intimidation, and smear campaigns are all election interference.
