To fix our country, we need a strong leader willing to break the rules?

Inregard to USA federal policies and leadership, although the opinions of foreign populations and their governments' leaders can to some extent affect us, it is the opinions of USA's voters and those who influence our federal government's policies that are of my much greater concern.
Regardinf those opinions, within the key finding of Ipso's polling the question, is there a need "To fix [country], we need a strong leader willing to break the rules?". (Refer to link, IpsosPopulism Report 2025 ).
I regret even among Germans, (who more comparatively recently experienced Hitler's Nazi historic regime), almost a ¼ of their nation believe the answer should be “Yes”. Among the majority of USA''s Republicans, (i.e. president Trump's supporters), their answers were“Yes”. Respectfully, Supposn

 

[Woodznutz]

True.

"Laws (rules) are made to keep the ruling class in power."

All political party platforms should have these four planks.

Safety of the people.
Health of the people.
Wealth of the people.
Happiness of the people.

If the first three are fulfilled the fourth will follow.

Biden broke the immigration rules, but he wasn't a strong leader.

Did he fix the country?

Well, that sounds like the Democrat Party as during their time, they repeatedly tried to usurp the Constitution and its Bill of Rights.

If that's what you're learning at the rightard trough of brain slop, I suggest you get your snout out of it.

We are a government of laws, and not men.

What fixing does the country need?

All government laws should be like the laws of physics, in that they work. However, most are manmade laws that aren't laws at all, because they aren't designed to work. There is no 'plea bargaining' in nature, nor should there be in our judicial system.

Couldn't disagree more. The government isn't our nursemaid. Government should protect our freedom to pursue happiness on our own terms, not force one party's vision of the "good life" on everyone else.

Show me one that followed “the rules” since 1789.

History on the rule of law.

The rule of law isn’t an abstract concept; it is the principle that laws are applied in a consistent and predictable manner. In the United States, the rule of law ensures that the U.S. constitutional regime’s bedrock principles of separation of powers, democratic accountability, due process, and equal protection under the law can be relied upon.

Founding Father and second President of the United States John Adams famously wrote that the rule of law at its most essential means a “government of laws and not of men.” The rule of law is “a principle of governance in which all persons, institutions and entities, public and private, including the State itself, are accountable to the laws that are publicly promulgated, equally enforced and independently adjudicated.”

In other words, the rule of law anticipates that duly passed laws are enforceable against all people and institutions, including the government and government actors, no matter the position or office they may hold—including the President of the United States. When there is a dispute about the legitimacy or constitutionality of a law or its application, it is the role of an impartial court to evaluate the arguments and come to a reasoned conclusion to settle the dispute.

If the rule of law is a “government of laws and not of men,” then the destruction of the rule of law creates the inverse, a government in which the powerful decide how and against whom the law is applied.

Without the rule of law, laws would not be applied consistently. In a post-rule of law country, those in positions of power within the government and their allies could behave unconstrained by any law or regulation, while the politically marginalized and those who dissent could be subject to punishment without any notice that their behavior was against the law. They would be without any recourse to an impartial judiciary to determine whether their prosecution, conviction, or punishment was legitimate. Due process and equal protection of the law cannot exist where the rule of law has been dismantled

The government should create the climate for these to grow. No need to micromanage. It's easier to succeed in an orderly society. We have so many failures because the government doesn't keep order. In fact, the government itself is in a perpetual state of disorder.

For what to grow? Who's version of safety, health, wealth and happiness will you promote?

There is no Constitutional Republic, without the rule of law.

The President is required by the constitution to follow the law and make certain the laws are followed, not broken!

 

[BrokeLoser]

True.
“The only way” for the Mexicrat Party to stay relevant is to turn America brown, weird and fag.

The “version” we operated by from 1776 to 1985 when the nation was great, exceptional, likeminded, prosperous and united?

 

[IM2]

In a nation that is less than 60 percent white and getting closer to 50/50, whites alone do not get to determine how everybody else lives. The Trump-supporting right in America doesn't seem capable of recognizing this.

To complete your thought.

The quote by John Adams, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other," carries profound meaning and holds great importance in understanding the foundation of our democracy. (And the duties of the citizenry).
