The main problem is that an elected body of representation is a broken idea because we are all immature. Trump's actually right that we need a dictator but we need a "benevolent" one and those two things are mutually exclusive. A societal parent. Someone to be like, "Fuck you, you fat shits, you drank too much soda and now you don't get any more for a while. You can have your freedom to drink soda back when you learn a little self control. That's how it works. Don't like it, have a cry. Your health is more important than being free to down 72 ounces of Coke in one sitting." And we'd also need a media who can ignore the bullies as they shout about how they should be able to put whatever they want into their bodies.
All of those things are anathema to a free society....... but maybe we don't deserve that any more? I feel dirty and awful saying/thinking that. But we do suck.
