How should the American people structure the government to prevent another Trump-like president (or worse) from ever getting elected as president in the future? (lemmy.world)

I feel like point 9 can be abused, but everything else is perfect

I think something needs to be done for DC and puerto rico, if you have a solution that sounds better I'll replace 9.

Imo i'd also be a fan of merging the two smallest adjacent states and splitting the largest one every 10 years, but I think that solves a problem so long term it would never get addressed in a democracy.

My fear is about all of the military bases that the US has all over the world and how those could in theory become US land through the way you worded that

Yeah it could be worded better. I think the addition of US government policing civilian populations might be better wording.
