Pretty much. Roosevelt only managed to cling to power for 14 years and he needed a world war and the liberal use of the FBI to silence dissent in order to do it. Putin has been president or prime minister of Russia for 20 years.
Or maybe USA has a long-standing tradition of Democracy/ Republicanism... and itās hard to control us;
The U.S. just had an election rigged so hard African warlords can see it. People showed up to complain in a place named after a violent revolutionary and they got shot at and arrested by the Government to the cheers of party propagandists. Then the people who actually control the U.S. put their fake leader in under military guard. And then it was off to be distracted by football on TV and that was that. Yes. So very hard to control.
I mean... yeah if you want to take a very weird angle all youāve sid can be argued to be correct.
I wanna be a Liberatian or an Anarchist too...itās what my soul calls for.
However I accept the actual reality we live in.. this reality has shown us that the masses cannot live in peace with eachother in an anarchist type environment. Eventually someone steps in the fill the power vacuum and maintain order. That order can be maintained by an imperfect govāt that has controls to limit itsā ability to just roll over people... and by a system of laws AND norms that make people feel (somewhat) empowered to hold their govāt accountable. Or order can be maintained by a dictator or totalitarian regime.
You can try to compare the US to dictators/totalitarian regimes... and you will find analogies, in so far as all govāts have things in common. Systems in place that enable them to maintain themselves and stay in control. That said, life under a Westen-style Democracy/Republic is still better than the alternatives...
So maybe you should get off your high-hypothetical horse and start making your points based on reality?
