You can fill in your own sentiments about this. That leads to questions of what the responsibilities are, how are they enforced, and where is the oversight. Many branches of this complicated form of government are poorly understood in their functions, their duties, and their limits. A democracy by definition relies on the voices of the people a republic relies on the minds of the chosen representatives of those people. This usually involves taking much of the government prisoner, to bend existing ways to a single person's will. It seems to me that when a crisis occurs, emboldened forces rise to take over the stage by claiming to have the ability to lead the rest of us out of the mire.
I have been thinking a lot lately (don't snicker please) about the pressures put upon our way of life, the stresses that the pandemic has put our traditions, our national image(s) of ourselves, and so on.
