Democrats have been calling on Biden to increase his power through just writing Executive Orders to act on their platform, and bypass all other branches of government...but THAT's not dictatorship?

I don’t think executive orders are that concerning when the legislative body has problems getting shit done. It’s a normal political tool that both parties use (relatively) evenly. What is concerning is gravely anti-constitutional movements to overturn the results of democratic elections.
Executive orders are one instantiation of what's literally the job of the executive branch: executing the law.
Executive orders operate within the authority granted by the legislative branch as judged by the judicial branch, and that authority can also be removed by the legislative branch.
You can say an order is unconstitutional or unlawful, but it's still not dictatorship.
Biden has written 138 in 3.25 years, averaging 42 EOs/year
Every executive order by every President is an abuse of power, as far as I'm concerned.
55/yr for Trump? 44/yr for Biden? No one should be proud of their side.
