The comics making a point about how many crises we're facing. But Biden is already president. These are his crises.
This sentiment ignores that there is more to the government than the president and that the president is not (currently) a dictator.
(The conservatives in the judiciary seem primed to make the presidency a dictatorship, but won't do it while a Democrat is on office)
So with Biden you think the presidency is impotent, yet Trump will have the powers of a dictator
Given the way conservatives have already used the judiciary to do this to an extent at state levels, yes. They used the Judiciary to strip Democrat governors of power in Wisconsin and North Carolina while using the judiciary to grant Republican governors those removed powers and more. The current federal judiciary would not grant a Democrat president dictatorial powers, but would grant them to a Republican preaident.
