Strongman vs Weak President

Strongman vs Weak President


     A friend argued that he liked a "strongman" (quick action; action happens because no effective opposition; super wealthy that want political influence like since only one side to buy so cheaper and very likely to get results and quicker results; a.k.a. "benevolent dictator").  I argued for the opposite (weak president; requires consensus (so great ideas win); slow/takes time; representative of the will of the people; journalists, intellectuals, writers, artists, political dissenters, religious minorities, racial minorities, labor unions, immigrants, and homosexuals like weak presidents; requires educated public; middle class).

     The core problem with the strongman is what you think about what they implement.  A bad strongman is dictator.
