Like Socialism, Autocracy has benefits. We may as well become familiar with the benefits of autocracy, all power in one person, if we plan to give Tweety Twump all the things he seeks as President.
"Advantages of an Autocratic Leadership Style"

"Autocratic leadership is a form of management where one leader typically has complete control over a work area or project. In a small business environment, the owner may implement this form of leadership when the operation is relatively small and he has a limited number of employees. While an autocratic style is considered more traditional, and in some instances, outdated form of leadership, it still offers a variety of benefits."
"Quick Decisions
An autocratic style of leadership can be effective in work environments where decisions need to be made quickly. The sole responsibility rests with the leader, and she makes the decision without the need to consult others. If a business faces constant change, the autocratic leader is able to respond in a way that prevents the business from falling behind the competition and keeps up with customer demand.
Close Oversight
In an autocratic work environment, the leader typically keeps a close watch on the activities of the workers. This eliminates the tendency for workers to "slack off" that may occur with more lenient management styles. The result can be increased productivity and speed, as workers who fall behind are quickly identified and corrective measures are taken. Quality may improve, as the employees' work is monitored constantly. Time wasting and the need to waste resources is also reduced.
Total Control
Autocratic leadership can work well for managers who prefer having complete control over an operation. Because the outcome is totally in his hands, the manager does not experience the stress of having to rely on help from outside his work area to complete the project or task. For this type of individual, having complete authority can actually result in reduced stress since he has complete control over his own fate.
Streamlined Work Process
Because one individual has complete control over an operation, there is less of a need for layers of management or bureaucracy. This can make for a more efficient operation, as fewer people are involved in the decision-making process. The manager can quickly identify areas of inefficiency or malfunction before they turn into major problems. For example, if too much money is being allocated for the marketing aspect of a project, the manager can spot this quickly, so a less expensive marketing technique can be implemented."
As I this about how these work, they only work when the "CEO" or boss is truly intelligent, and a narcissist, egotistical demagogue is not the right person for an American autocracy. A Tweety Twump President who is a bully, baby, and buffoon is not the right autocrat for America.

"January 30, 2017 (Washington, D.C.)— One of the chief vulnerabilities of America’s political system is its reliance on the president to be restrained by his own ethics and public spirit. But what happens if somebody assumes the office lacking those qualities? In The Atlantic’s March cover story, published now at TheAtlantic.com, senior editor David Frum argues that if Congress is quiescent and the public listless, President Donald Trump can set the country down a path toward illiberalism, institutional subversion, and endemic graft."
"How to Build an Autocracy"
The preconditions are present in the U.S. today. Here’s the playbook Donald Trump could use to set the country down a path toward illiberalism.

Here is the scenario . . .
"It’s 2021, and President Donald Trump will shortly be sworn in for his second term. The 45th president has visibly aged over the past four years. He rests heavily on his daughter Ivanka’s arm during his infrequent public appearances.Fortunately for him, he did not need to campaign hard for reelection. His has been a popular presidency: Big tax cuts, big spending, and big deficits have worked their familiar expansive magic. Wages have grown strongly in the Trump years, especially for men without a college degree, even if rising inflation is beginning to bite into the gains. The president’s supporters credit his restrictive immigration policies and his TrumpWorks infrastructure program."
"The business community learned its lesson early. “You work for me, you don’t criticize me,” the president was reported to have told one major federal contractor, after knocking billions off his company’s stock-market valuation with an angry tweet. Wise business leaders take care to credit Trump’s personal leadership for any good news, and to avoid saying anything that might displease the president or his family.
The media have grown noticeably more friendly to Trump as well. The proposed merger of AT&T and Time Warner was delayed for more than a year, during which Time Warner’s CNN unit worked ever harder to meet Trump’s definition of fairness. Under the agreement that settled the Department of Justice’s antitrust complaint against Amazon, the company’s founder, Jeff Bezos, has divested himself of The Washington Post. The paper’s new owner—an investor group based in Slovakia—has closed the printed edition and refocused the paper on municipal politics and lifestyle coverage.
Meanwhile, social media circulate ever-wilder rumors. Some people believe them; others don’t. It’s hard work to ascertain what is true."
“The benefit of controlling a modern state is less the power to persecute the innocent, more the power to protect the guilty.”
"Despite the hand-wringing, the country has in many ways changed much less than some feared or hoped four years ago. Ambitious Republican plans notwithstanding, the American social-welfare system, as most people encounter it, has remained largely intact during Trump’s first term. The predicted wave of mass deportations of illegal immigrants never materialized. A large illegal workforce remains in the country, with the tacit understanding that so long as these immigrants avoid politics, keeping their heads down and their mouths shut, nobody will look very hard for them."
