Of course, the whole problem with the urge towards enlightened autocracy that motivates much of America's left, a yearning for something akin to the bureaucratic leviathan that is the European Parliament, the problem is that in order to pull it off and bind the constituent parts of the polity together in service of the end you'll need the acquiescence of the military and the constabulary to enforce the agenda - and that ain't ever gonna happen in the United States of America - give the military a choice between an Obama and a Bush and that would be one election I can guarantee Obama would have absolutely no chance of winning no matter how many lying, manipulative rabbits he pulled from his hat. Sure, the EU, against much opposition, managed to pull the 'coup' off and the hollowed out militaries of Europe certainly helped [oh how Obama must envy that] - but for how long does it last? The thing is quite fragile, it depends utterly on America for it's ultimate security, and the abuse of freedom and the stifling of opinion that such a huge bureaucracy by necessity resorts to has given rise to far right political movements sprouting up all over the place - without a military force to suppress dissent, dissent will rise - which brings us back to America's liberal elite: you may have convinced yourselves that media bias and artificially weighted demographic changes etc etc will bring you the autocracy you dream of - but how the hell do you expect to defend it once you've got it? 'Cause I know a few Marines, and if you're hoping to enlist them to serve the greater glory of you, I'd suggest you may wanna rethink that one.
