Do you think the POTUS is some sort of absolute monarch? Even if he goes "close the border right now" it still has to go through Congress, and what do you know? Both parties fucking hate his guts.

tbqh, we need a benevolent dictator right now to decuck the nation. Once we're back on track, we can revert to a VERY indirect democracy, ideally one where only land-owning white men have voting rights.
