Looks like the Oval Office has a new “Throat GOAT”.
Templars? Mate, wrong hemisphere, wrong time period.
Thankfully, my country has an advanced and well-thought-out constitution with compulsory voting for all citizens over 18. Changing the constitution of my country requires a “double majority”, meaning any proposed change must win a majority of the popular vote as well as win a majority of the states. If our Prime Minister refuses to follow the will of Parliament, He/She can be removed by the Governor-General and new elections can be called. Elections themselves are overseen by an independent commission who are responsible for organizing polling places, counting votes and setting the electorate borders every 10 years based on census data. Our legal system has it’s own method for choosing judges that is independent of the government, all the way up to our High Court (our version of the Supreme Court).
The result of all of this is that elections in my country are fought over boring stuff, like infrastructure, healthcare and education, and that’s just the way we like it. Pointless distractions like “culture war” nonsense don’t work here. Any politician that tries that stuff will find themselves isolated and ignored by the vast majority of voters.

What’s happening now in the US and UK was started by Reagan and Thatcher and it’s all been down hill since. Now, everyone hates the old guard of politics in those countries for allowing the future to be sold to the highest bidder. Reagan and Thatcher destroyed their own nation’s societies just so they could help their rich mates get even richer. I can understand why the US and UK are falling apart and why the people are looking for change because the old system stopped working for them. What we see now is the end result of 30-40 years of your Neo-liberal leader’s policies. Simply put, your chickens are coming home to roost.
American Democracy is slipping away.
The rest of us are doing fine.
They need to recreate raising the US flag on Iwo Jima, but with frogs.

Alien: “Then, I’ll make healthcare super expensive so the poor suffer and die!”
Human: “…Yeah, about that…”
