What would it mean for the world if the US were to transform itself from the usual democracy-like plutocracy into an outright dictatorship? Would anything change at all? (lemmy.world)

Likely more introverted and make the world a better place for most but Canada and Mexico might be in trouble. Eg here in Australia you'd hope we kick all the US bases out of Australia, which were a bad fucking idea in the first place.

The externalising of the shit show of inevitable consequence of being a dictatorship might be a neighbiir issue eg instead of just rhetoric about those damn immigrants, invade Mexico to sure up the borders. One hopes the rest of the world would rally behind Mexico, except perhaps like minded "bros" like Russia, Hungary, North korea, Vietnam, Camboida, Myanmar etc etc.
