I hope that we are not falling down the rat hole of "strongman" government. We have so many examples of the mess that eventually follows, such as pre WWII Germany, most of the current Middle East and Africa, Venezuela, and other South American nations. Recently, Turkey and the Philippines are trying this out. Basically, this approach seems like a quick fix for widely perceived problems, but things quickly go down hill when the strongman gets comfy, then feels that he needs to protect his role. The theme seems to be the masses feeling marginalized by the ruling class, then revolting. This "revolt" can be an actual physical insurrection or a vote.
