This but unironically. The actually important roles of the executive have been divorced entirely from the vagaries of democracy (foreign and monetary policy) via the Fed and the intelligence apparatus. The machine is far too complex for an individual to understand let alone control, so these guys form cabinets of ghouls that basically tell the president what to do, and if he doesn’t, well… ask JFK.

Domestic policy is another story but even there the two parties are remarkably close, if you pay attention to actions and not rhetoric. Especially now with the 6-3 court it pretty much couldn’t matter less, anything that would actually help people is DOA
