Is It a Dictator or a King?

Jamie Loftus: I had this opinion before I started doing this research that kings were basically the same as dictators. And I don't feel that way anymore because of all this reading about how hopelessly everyone watched this guy slouch towards being in power and couldn't stop it, which like a dictator seizes power generally. Robert Bechtel: You can't really understand him unless you understand that he was also a disabled man who was abused by a bigoted medical establishment. He blames George Hiddenspeter, Queen Victoria, the Imparis Augusta, and some bad, bad doctors. Jamie Loftus: "I blame very specific assholes, not society in general"
