Frankly, I think we need a Pinochet. For a brief time.
But those things are rarely for “a brief time”.

So we’ll end up with Stalin.

There's only one Pinochet. A benevolent dictator. Usually, that's just not possible.

Although, Sisi seems pretty good in Egypt. He went after the Muslim Brotherhood big time.

Or Franco.

Which might not be the worst thing at this point.

although I recognize that we should not have anybody forming a dictatorship, because our sinful nature would result in another Soviet Union or Nazi Germany, in my fantasy mind I thing it would be great if Constitutional conservatives could get an iron grip on America and force repairs for where liberals have done damage.

I still don’t recognize that as a good thing, but in my fantasy mind it’s fantastic. :)

I’ll do it, but it’s going to be a wild ride. I’d be benevolent towards people following the original constitution and there would be very little interference. Those that don’t, well. Wow.
