Let's face it, if FDR didn't die in his 4th term he would have ran another term and possibly won another 7th term, and would basically be make his own dynasty at that point, I doubt america would still be a democracy by that point, once you elect dynasties like that you can never go back to being a ""democracy"".

Mackenzie King was Prime Minister of Canada for over 20 years. Not consecutively mind you, but he still dominated Canadian politics even while not in office.

Except FDR was already planning a dictatorship from the very start, how would you explain how he tried to push in congress a law to overhaul the Supreme Court with his own appointees?
He wanted to take control of everything, plain and simple, and he knew he could. Everybody loved him.

Please elaborate. If all the elections are free, how does it kill democracy? It's unusual to elect the same person for 20 years, but it could happen depending on the situation.
Also, what is the point of this thread?

That's how dictators start anon, they're all "Oh I want to make this country a better place!", then they start to enjoy the power too much and try to make sure the status quo never changes forever.
