    I think the horrible truth might just be that democracy is flawed. I don’t know if there is anything that is better than it but clearly it can be infiltrated by bad actors.

    Part of me really does wish that sci-fi AI existed that would just make the humans do the good things.

      The thing about it is that while democracy is not perfect and can be abused, autocracies like Hungary and Russia are broken in so fundamental ways that it does not even compare.

      I mean, yeah we have AfD getting a lot of votes. Russia had a rogue general lead his troops to the capital in an attempted coup.

        I agree completely. and

        autocracies like Hungary and Russia are broken in so fundamental ways that it does not even compare. is a very important point to make. I just think that it is worth acknowledging that it is not some unique flaw with America.
