We Have a President, Not a King

[MineralMan]

26. I can't point to any such dictator. No such dictator exits,

nor can exist. That's why we don't have one in this country. We understand that. That's why we have the imperfect political system we have. It satisfies nobody completely. No system or dictator can do that. However, kings and dictators can run things as they please...until someone else decides to depose them.

We don't do that in the USA. Instead, every couple of years, we have a chance to swap out our leaders, if we wish to do so, in a more or less peaceful process. Every four years, we have a chance to swap out our executives, state and federal, if we wish to do so.

We don't want kings here, so we don't have them.

Sadly, our leaders are as imperfect as the system that chooses them. But that's the nature of societies, in general. The population never really agrees on much of anything, so we have a political system that pleases nobody, completely. I can't think of a system that will work much better, frankly, in a diverse nation of the size and population of the US.
