Enact a parliamentary system
Introduce proportional representation of parties in congress
Establish ranked-choice voting so your second choice counts
End gerrymandering
Take money out of politics
American and British occupiers practically dictated what sort of Constitutional order would arise in western Germany, in Italy, and even in France after World War II -- Constitutions that would more rigidly thwart totalitarian tendencies.
Ruthless people have found the seams in our Constitution, and we Americans may need to amend our Constitution to close those seams. In the old days people were scared to exploit those seams because such exploitation of the seams would set a bad example for the other Party were it to take power.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
