      Because the alternative has already been tested thoroughly throughout history?

      Because the alternative makes it that much easier for an aspiring fascist to take full control of every branch of power?

      In what world do you think that not separating powers can have a more democratic outcome?

        In which historical occasion has a fascist risen to legislative power, and the rest of powers were like “nah get outta here” and just kicked them out?

        In what world do you think that not separating powers can have a more democratic outcome?

        Would you agree that China doesn’t have a fascist problem? Would you agree that China has separation of powers?
