maybe. And maybe I should have used Britain as my example.
People here used to say they preferred strong leaders (I don't
know how they reply on "great"). It may be Thatcher changed
their minds!, the current Tory leader's playing cuddly and
doing rather well in the polls

sorry, that just doesn't work (doesn't fit into the larger argument
you're trying to make, re Germany and liberal democracy).
Don't people in the US want a great leader?
Judging from the past 9 or 10 elections, evidently, not.
or maybe, with the state of politics as it is in the US, it's just impossible
to get any 'great' person to run for the job in the first place so the 30% who
actually take the time to vote, have the option of dumb or dumberer.
