A dictator is a political leader who possesses absolute power. A dictatorship is defined as a state ruled by a dictator.[1][2] The word originated as the title of a Roman dictator elected by the Roman Senate to rule the republic in times of emergency.[2] Like the terms “tyrant” and “autocrat”, dictator came to be used almost exclusively as a non-titular term for oppressive rule.[3] In modern usage, the term dictator is generally used to describe a leader who holds or abuses an extraordinary amount of personal power.

In its bastardised form it works, the people aren’t protesting for nothing after all.

Nonetheless I disagree with the bastardisation of words that have clear meanings so downvoted the post.
