I'm obviously not a fan of dictatorships, I'm just trying to rationalize why someone might prefer China to the US.
I think the problem is that the US presidency is too powerful, it might be better to turn the presidency into a ceremonial position. It shouldn't be possible for the president to do all this damage.
It’s pretty much going in the US exactly how George Washington predicted.
“[Political factions] are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government and destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
