Right, the crusty 236 year old government is showing it’s age and has problems but has also resulted in an exceptionally successful country, so the logical solution would be to incrementally improve it, but instead, the voting populace just decided to burn it to ash; although, many are too politically ignorant to even understand the consequences of their decision.

You can't, though. It's ossified too much. The constitution was always meant to be a living document, but now it's a sacred text for which new amendments are practically inconceivable.

It's called a living document because you can amend it.

Tariffs will soon educate them.

The markets expected the tariffs to be cancelled, and as if by magic, they just got cancelled.

Unfortunately, the speedrun to an autocracy won't be, the market's fine with that one.
