Republicans are not championing free speech. Entirely the opposite with how they're treating LGBT folks currently.
And on that note, the Republicans are so beyond bad that yes, a one party state is actually better. To be clear, a one party state is utterly awful. That's how terrible the Republican party is. They cannot be even remotely viable when their entire platform is hating other people.
To be fair, dictatorships and communism is amazing if you have the right leader. It's just never happened before. It probably never will.
Yes I'm a Python developer.
Ah, if only all dictators would be benevolent dictators for life like Guido.
Dictatorships are (by definition) never amazing. The state exists to serve the public, not to subjugate it
