Plenty of people around the world know about the authoritarian aspects of the US way better than the Americans, as they suffer their consequences.

Which ones do you like to mention?

Iran, Gaza, Cuba, Irak, Afghanistan, Yemen, Lebanon... These people do not only suffer their tyrannical governments, but they must suffer also the war actions of the US and its allies.

Its two step system: tyrannical government committed war actions against US and allies, US and allies responded, people suffer.

The fact that you just rattled off a list of terror states like it was nothing is so damn funny to me

You know that there are regular people living in these terror states that have to suffer not only their terror states but the US? It's not that I feel pity of the terror states, but of the regular people. It's a very easy distinction that for some reason (racism?) people is troubled to make.

It's obviously not the answer for the question asked.

Hyper presidentialist state that allows one administration (and realistically one person) to start a war against another nation without having authorization from congress.

This happened a few weeks ago, actually.

Actually, I'm in favor parliamentary republic with proportional representation, but words have meanings, and "authoritarian" is impossible to apply to a country with electorally changeable power by definition. Or a one with working separation of powers. And plenty of other attributes present in the US.
