Thesis: The executive branch is becoming too powerful.

Antithesis: If that ever happened, the white-collar desk jockeys at the IRS would rise in revolt against authoritarianism.

Synthesis: Democracies cannot be authoritarian as long as they pass the us-foreign-policy test.

      Seeing the way liberals talk about places they do consider to be dictatorships, be it Russia, DPRK, China, you'll realize the answer is emphatically yes.
