Why did America never devolve into personality cults like North Korea, China or Russia did?
>>18124393We've used celebrities to put hero worship on people without any non-symbolic power. Notice as celebrity has declined hero worship around Trump/[insert Democrat presidential candidate] has become more common. In the 90s Democrats liked Bill Clinton, but they never talked about him using lawfare for all his opponents (like Democrats do now) or running for a third term (like Republicans do now). You did want these sort of things for Michael Jackson though.
>>18124393North Korea/ Juche is actually a Fascist cult of personality but Maoism isn’t nor wasnt. It was actual Mass Line democracy with Mao as figurehead and symbol of the movement as contrasted with Juche which is Kim Jong Un giving orders and the people listening
>>18124393It's just getting started
>>18124393It did though
>*blocks your path*
>>18124393Because America's foundation is contrarianism. Cults of personality in America do crop up, but they crop out purely out of contrarianism, and thus they just as quickly die by contrarianism. The overton window is how we keep ourselves relatively moderate and in-check
They made us sing songs to a cardboard cutout of Obama when I was in school

A French philosopher said that Asians lack any sort of philosophical ontology with their feng shui and yin yang
>>18124393>washington retires after 8 years, effectively setting a term limit>john adams gracefully allows the other party to take power peacefully>24 years of one party rule, each handing off to their personally selected heir>by the time of the john quincy adams/andrew jackson shitfest there has been 36 years of democracy under the constitution so the institutions survive

>>18124393...Where have you been for the last 10 years?
>>18125557So we're going to pretend that Obama worship didn't exist now?
>>18125557I saw Trump win 3 elections in a row :)
>>18124393Because we are white.
>>18127589Europe is white, america isn't.
>>18127678Now compare kike subversion levels.
>>18124393Proper personality cults come after takeoversYou're better off asking why america never evolved into dictatorship
