Thank you for the reply, M. malo.

Respectfully, I think you err here by a priori conflating babies with bathwater.

Or perhaps we just disagree on which is DJT. Now, don't get me wrong: You may be right in your characterization of him and his anti-(classical-)Liberal errors, but I don't think so. I don't think DJT is anywhere near as Authoritarian Socialist as you make him out to be, and I think he has learned from his errors, just like all babies do. Just like all of us humans do.

And sometimes we *do* have to make judgement and take some chance in choosing leaders, because the "lesser" evil *is* better than the greater and that process *will* work in the long run. Think about it.

Sorry: I want to answer your ultimate question, but could you rephrase it for me? I don't want to misinterpret.

(Btw, that "4 out of 5 love democracy" has been my favorite for a long time.)
