We only even have limits for presidents because the same libs, right wingers, whined and pissed themselves after the country elected the least-shitty president 4 times. If the president is good… who cares. Let them stay 50 years. I don’t understand the term limit shit.
Their media milks this so much, too. They propagandise term limits until the concept ossifies in people’s brains and then they point out Xi Jinping has no term limits every time he gets reappointed, and that alone is proof of dictatorship to liberals. The guy’s on a roll scoring W after W for China and the Western media just bleats about how democracy is being crushed under the weight of all of those Ws.
I find the whole notion that having a revolving door government is a measure of democracy is absurd beyond belief. You want power of recall, and the ability to hold the government accountable. Simply shuffling who’s in charge doesn’t accomplish that.
Imagine a hamburger that’s good. You want to keep eating that hamburger forever. Mm, good burger. But if a hamburger is bad, you want to stop eating it. You want to throw up out of your car window onto the interstate because the bad hamburger made you sick.

We have to put it in American terms: if you have a winning football coach, you don’t fire him after 8 years just because.
