Why would you not want a dictator who upholds your values and champions your way of life. You all put too much emphasis on democracy when it in reality opposes what you want.

All fun and games until that dictator gets overthrown or dies and then you get another one that’s radically different

A benevolent dictator is the ideal form of government. But a benevolent dictator cannot truly exist. Because all humans are fallible. Either they get greedy, or they mean the best but get something wrong, or they are manipulated by those around them. So we can’t have a benevolent dictator, because it will swiftly become just a regular dictator.

Because as soon as they die there is a phase of multiple different people/groups vying for power, and even if another one comes in who upholds your values and way of life there was still a likely very bloody struggle for power that severely damaged or outright ended the lives of many people.

Then fair then you have morals, but you are also ignorant cuz god doesn’t exist. I believe in conservative values because it’s what I grew up with and am comfortable. I also know they are relative.

Maybe but not necessarily. Democracy can have the same effect and change at a whim

That’s why you have multiple branches of government and checks and balances

You can be moral without religion. If you need the threat of eternal damnation from G-d, you’re not a good person. Side note, I also subscribe to a modern approach to religion, I don’t personally believe in G-d, but I follow teachings and traditions, which apply today with modern interpretations.

If I did value it, which I don’t, why would your opinion make me change what I VALUE

Please just go back and read the initial comment it will clear this up. A dictatorship that doesn’t uphold ur values is bad for you correct, but so is a democracy that doesn’t. I’d rather have a dictatorship that upholds mine. I place little value on democracy because it is more fickle.
