This is a very real growing threat. My father is a brain-dead liberal and the perfect litmus test for leftist programming. I use him to gauge what the current leftist thoughts are. About a year ago or even 6 months ago, my father considered Fox News Watchers, Republicans and Trump supporters to be all mostly the same. He just assumed if it was something said on fox news then all Republicans and Trump supporters believed the same thing. I explained to him before how a lot of Trump supporters don't actually care for the Republicans but he didn't believe me at all. He seriously thought guys like McConnell were adorned by Trump supporters because he saw the Republicans as all being Trump supporters and on the same side. I explained to him the nuances but he didn't believe me.
About a month or so ago that all changed. Now my father believes MAGA Trump supporters are different than other Republicans and are the real problem with the USA. He even suggested that regular Republicans might be good but have been forced to support Trump because of fear of the MAGA Threat etc....
The shift is basically showing the colors of the true third position in politics. I think a lot of Trump supporters are realizing that traditional Republicans are basically Democrats on disguise. The "uniparty". All doing the same thing in the end. It appears the Democrats are being radicalized to believe the same but to believe Republicans are still bad but MAGA are so bad they cannot be tolerated and must be exterminated.
Sadly, I think Trump will prove himself to be nothing more than another uniparty member and in the end many Americans are going to be left feeling betrayed and abondoned. Any third position that isn't eliminating the left as they wish to do to you is going to fail.
That's fair but he also doesn't stand for what we need to truly defeat the uniparty. Remember, he had 4 years and did nothing. His son in law is arguably one of the worst uniparty members and Trump valued his opinion. Civic Nationalism and "Libertarian" values won't save you at the stage we're already in.
A president going "full Caesar or Hitler" would require a ready and willing military force prepared to follow his every command. Even if a fraction of the military opposed the new dictator, it would lead to some kind of nuclear standoff and assassination attempts.
Feel free to clarify if you didn't mean that literally. Something like Trump firing all the joint chiefs to put his own men in, and going to war against insidious deep state factions (which he could say are already attacking America so it's constitutional self-defense) would be a Rubicon-crossing move, but I wouldn't call that "full Caesar or Hitler".
I do mean the latter but I truly believe we're at a point in time where the only solution is a long-term authoritarian that can force the objective value system he wants on society while oppressing dissenters. We no longer can coexist. Any coexistence will simply lead to our continual destruction. That's the path we're on so we need a dramatic reversal which requires armed forces and yes lots of shooting, death, potential assassinations and nuclear scares but if won, the outcome will be dramatically better for us.

Trump has plenty of faults, but being part of the uniparty ain't one of them.

Either go full Caesar or Hitler or go home.

His main fault was not cracking down on feminism when one tried to assassinate him.
Never forget that BLM's seed funding came from the Women's March.
If he put that cult on watch, we would have won, or they would have revealed themselves beyond any doubt.
