I mean. Many historical Republics usually included the option of installing a Dictator to deal with emergency.

In fact we borrow the term “Dictator” from the Roman Republic.

The Caveat being their power was normally limited to taking whatever steps they deemed necessary to address whatever emergency dictated they be given such powers. So while broad and far reaching. It wasn’t total. And the option to force them from Office remained.

So much of what we take for granted politically. And the political philosophy that ultimately has become the primary focus today on both sides of the aisle. Even in some of the alternative spheres. Is ultimately the result of the post WW2 era economic and educational system. Which comparatively speaking was a time of relatively unrivaled prosperity, For the U.S at least. And enforced by the U.S Hegemony. With many people taking aspects of it for granted in their philosophy. That system is breaking down. In frankly a rather spectacular fashion.

And we happen to have got a distinct lack of Washington’s, Jefferson’s, Adam’s, Monroe’s, and other figures of yore running around to lead the Republic. The Closest thing we do have is Trump. The times ahead will undoubtedly be interesting ones.
