A Pinochet would be temporary and could then return us to the Constitution.

BS,, A dictator like that seizes power because they cannot win it. Then they cannot stand for elections lest the ones they deposed win, and return to power. So they hold farce votes,,if any. Opposition must be suppressed,,etc.

There is no shortcut. There is no dictatorship “superweapon” that can save things.

Unfortunately, for every Sulla, there is a Marius.
