I have concluded my re-reading of the U.S. Constitution with the following thoughts:
The founders of American Democracy shared the same zeal for defeating every single aspiring dictator with a deliberate system of check-and-balance.
To prevent the disease of dictatorship from rearing its head, we'd better be healthy and strong skeptics, collectively and individually. We're born or reborn to dissent.
We are NOT united behind our political leaders. Instead, we are united behind our time-honored belief that politicians tend to corrupt if given too much power. No wonder our Constitution makes life so difficult for politicians by making life so easy for dissidents.
Our dissident-friendly system works. No? Then tell me why all those dictators, who allow no dissent, try so hard to stop their people from coming here.
The bad news is there are two dictators in America: GOP and DEM. Those two take turns to dictate this country. This country is ruled under two parties for more than two hundred years. I don't think people in this country like anyone of those two. Every four years, I heard "we need to change". One goes away and the other one step on the stage. However four years later, the exact process happens again. People want to change again. The expelled one come back. The ruling party gets booted, until four years later.
Come on America. Can't you make up your fking mind? What the hell exactly do you want?
American politics has turned violence in Jan 6th 2021.
That is way beyond coarse language. People were dead for presidential election. Hundreds of people did jail time becuase of what they did in Jan 6th. This is way more than dissidents. I don't like the result so that I will not accept the result of democratic process and I will get rough?
If the temperature of America politics doesn't cool down a little bit, both side of the country will become more extreme. "Dissident" will be such an understatement.
The huge problem is: there are huge amounts of people still believing Jan 6th was a peaceful protest and a very few of them being a bit excessive. This is not holding a small group of people accountable for losing their temper during a tour in Capitol Hill. They are still people believing the election was stolen without a thread of evidence. There was a presidential candidate debate which is totally meaningless because huge amounts of people support the other candidate who was not in the debate hall at all. To me, this is nowhere close to be a dissident. This is a fanatical political environment. It is that close to be a cult. This is NOT that America I know.
你跟非洲比跟中国比，OKAY，美国的人权确实有优势，但是，美国国内都有人权，但美国国内也有很多实际问题要解决，这些实际问题靠标榜人权是解决不了的，美国单个的总统有人权，华盛顿好几百政客有人权，美国好几亿人其实都有人权，但美国同样存在许多问题，有些问题还相当难以解决。Human right itself is not a silver bullet.

从人类几千年的历史来看，君主制是非常有效的意识形态。

但从人类文明的来看，西方近代这一套真不一定是最终的赢家
