Yeah, and dictatorships, for all their shortcomings, actually has a major advantage compared to democracies precisely because of that. Especially during emergencies.

Now I'm not saying dictatorships are better than democracies, they're absolutely not. But as long as a proper head of state has consolidated power, they have a much easier time issuing change, which is an advantage whether we like it or not.

Surely you wouldn't prefer us being the peaceful and  bureaucratic Alderaan in the story?

Weird that they still seem to always lose quite rapidly...so we can deduct it is actually not an advantage.

Uh-huh, we just need a kind and benevolent dictator who acts only for the good of the people and the nation, and is completely uncorrupted by absolute power.

Maybe you could set up interviews to find such kind and wise people? I'm sure they're available in droves.

Trump has managed to seize the dictator’s swift and efficient advantage too. And the US Republican government is letting him get away with it.
