Remember when that dude in Germany used emergency powers to only hold control of the country temporarily.
Once he gets the power of a Dictator he is not going to give it up remember never again applies to all countries.

The word “dictator” comes from the Roman Republic, where it was meant to be only for temporary usage. Then Caesar just didn’t give up the power. When challenged he marched his armies into Rome. Now whenever we use dictator, we use it to describe the actions of people like Caesar, rather than it’s original use case.
Emergency powers have always and will always be abused.
