       A reasonable small group of so called 'people' are making life terrible for soo soo manyWe really need a better system, voting can do only so much and look where it got us. againRemember, we are with a lot moreDon't fight each other, fight the few who try to make things worse for their gain

       @stux 42,8% of people in my area voted in the recent elections, but 100% of them have issues they can't stop complaining about.The trouble starts when people think they don't have to take responsibility for making the world a better place. When they just want to complain and complain until the sun goes supernova.Complaining won't make change happen. You're going to have to put the work in yourself.If you don't put the effort in, the bad guys win by default.

       Don't get me wrong, voting is one of the few things we can do but we need more guard rails somehowIt's crazy that a mad man like Hitler or Trump can be voted into office and dismantle everything from withinThat's not how it should work!Personally I despise "alone rulers" with stupid titles like kings, presidents, or dictatorsWe need people to keep people in check, we have proven that over and over againFuck the alone ruler

       @stux The conservatives have been at this "unitary executive" lark for decades.

       @screwturn Maybe because they somehow lack the ability to think for themselves 🤔

       @stux@mstdn.social I find it amusing that atleast two other people made the same comparison and comment in the same day.I also despise the "ruler" part. We have a king in Norway but he only has veto rights if our politicians tie in voting

       @stux They actually ache for a monarchy, but also the "savior hero" archetype is very common all across the US. People on both sides think more in terms of a hero sweeping in to save us, than ordinary people collaborating to solve things

       @stux Look I always felt that democracy got off waaaay to easy after the Second World War. But the issue is, what would you replace it with?

       @stux Congress & the courts are supposed to be the check on this.  But the Republicans are so far up Trump's ass they could perform a tonsillectomy and have just given all their power to him.  Top that off with an utterly corrupt SCOTUS, and everything is completely fucked.
