re: #212 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

As a preliminary hypothesis, I believe that allowing one party to have complete control of the government is non-optimal. Without a legitimate minority check on the process, the tyranny of the majority can become a reality. The Founding Fathers never envisioned a scenario where a single political entity would be able to obtain control over the executive, legislative, and judicial branches all at the same time. The judicial was supposed to be impartial (though I understand how, with the appointment process, that is difficult to do; perhaps revamping that is a place to start). The legislative is, of course, the most glaring problem right now because Republicans have been changing all the rules on the fly, so it seems like we need to re-set some systems to prevent systemic abuse.

And then the imperative of maintaining that tyranny leads to increasing authoritarianism as is happening with Xi in China.
