So you favor autocracy (and delusionally believe that dictators tend to be the sheep)?
I favor the representative democracy with checks and balances that America has, and a strong bias towards preserving minority rights over majority rules.
Oh sorry. So you favor plutocracy, not autocracy.
Are you trying to change my mind or just insult me for not sharing your worldview? There are plenty of shades between where I sit and plutocrats, just as I'm aware there are shades between where you sit and the gulag.

Reducto ad adsurbium just lets anyone sit comfortably inside the edge of the boundary you've set. It's an extremely uncompelling form of argumentation.
