Efficient or effective? A dictatorship is going to be more efficient.

The question is about efficiency, not whether it'd be a good thing

Yeah I mean it isn't what I want but it would certainly be more efficient.

Kinda. They're not being technical about usage of that word, cause above the actual graph, it says
Growing share of Republicans say the country's problems could be addressed more effectively if presidents 'didn't have to worry so much about Congress or the courts'

Does he even bother to legislate anymore? Most things he does at this point are through executive order.

I mean, he'd be more efficient if he started work before 11am, didn't watch Fox all day, skipped his daily phone date with Hannity and didn't have to be in his jammies by 6, but none of that's gonna change either.

It would also probably help if he didn't golf 24/7 either.

Well yeah if something passes right away it will be more efficient than a bunch of people deciding whether or not it should pass for months. Checks and balances though.

Less intelligent folks tend to glob towards authoritarian values and strongmen since it's just easier for their brains to handle.

Less to think about that way I guess.

Sounds like Republicans literally want a Russian form of government where the parliament and the constitution have no real power.
