and by perfect, i mean perfect for you: as in, it enacts all the policies you believe would be best.

Perfect is too subjective, and a dictatorship is what it is.
To quote Churchill "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.

Flawed democracy. Not perfect....like human beings. Gives it a more realistic human feeling. Perfect.

I'm with Cherokee Patti: A Constitutional Republic, just as the founders of 1787, as exemplified by the conversation between Benjamin Franklin and one of Philadelphia's socialites: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what have you given us?" "A republic, Madam, if you can keep it."

We've slowly but inexorably abdicated it to people who don't want us to keep it.

Neither one

@cherokeepatti in that case, what would you want?

@clooo A constitution and a Republic.

Because Communism starts out with promises of a benevolent dictatorship.

In other words, I would be World Empress.

As a Christian I wait for a theocratic dictatorship, but anything less than the theocratic dictatorship we wait for, would have to be a flawed democracy.
a flawed democracy
@puck61 Nope.
@PhoenixPhail Well, you should make yasef comfortable!
@puck61 I have fantasies of living in the middle of the woods somewhere, off-grid and as self-sufficient as possible. It would be a lot of work, but more comforting in a way.

As long as Big Don Trump wasn't one of the hired hands, what would it matter?
