Hahaha, that's a good one.
The US has always been about slave owners on stolen land to be in power with all its perks but without any of its responsibilities by putting as much wool over everyone's eyes as much as they can.
Every supposed check and balance the US has is to keep these oligarchs in power.
And they're all laughably theatrical like putting in enormous importance into term limits, like it's some kind of pinnacle of democracy.
As if dictators will stop dictating because there's a clock involved.
All it does is stop the public from choosing the one leader that isn't corrupted by monied interests over and over again.
It does not stop a leader from speedrunning into doing whatever he wants.
