They are not interested in conducting an experiment in democracy or self government, as we are (and as a lot of the west has done).
Perhaps that is because they look at the current results and find it not to their liking.
Who is they?
Their 1%; their ruling class.
And so, they apply a model more suited to their culture (authoritarian) and adapt what they need/want where they think it fits.
Guess they have looked at the way the really wealthy buy their influence / power and the have nots get ignored. They always tried to do it but there were checks from other side and the media but all are in the same cesspool now.
After all what is another trillion from Congress to support their supporters while thousands of people die with little or no access to medical assistance.
The American dream sadly finished a long time ago, which is a pity, it was something people aspired to but when Govt becomes more concerned about semantics rather than helping people it is what happens.
