One of the most common conceptual errors by Americans is their confusion between the goals of natural rights, as opposed to those "process rights" used to obtain those ends. Democracy is only a means to an end, to secure those natural rights owned by all men and women. As such, democracy supplies a "process right" to vote, for example, as a means to that end. When a government, of any type, no longer serves that end, and uses its powers to steal and tyrannize its members, democracy is an enemy of liberty...not a protector. And without liberty rights, a dictator of one person, an oligarchy, an institution, a bureaucracy or 51% of the people, is still a dictatorship over things which are none of its business.
The list of failed institutions and repressive structures under the American "democracy" should be enough to convince a person that the Republic has failed: the IRS harassment, the EPA, the malicious prosecution against political enemies, the politically motivated judges, the looming fiscal and entitlement crisis, lawfare, the seizure of private property for private gain, restrictions on freedom contract and employment, removal of property rights through land use and zoning laws, etc.
Nope, in my humble view, its time for a good dictator - someone who will wipe the slate clean and create a path back towards liberty.
