US Democracy is completely overrated. Overseas in Beijing, the One Party Dictatorship is responding much better to the concerns to its citizens than our Two Party republic. For America to continue its greatness, we need a smart government that will respond quickly to the needs and there is no other answer than an autocrat.
Who will become the autocrat?
The process will be completely merit based. Any American who wants to be an essential dictator would be open to apply. The process will take the brightest and most noble applicant and make him our dictator. The post will be hereditary following. However, if the dictator violates the first 10 amendments, we will have a mandate of heaven. The people will have the right to overthrow him and provide a new dictator dynasty through the process.
