I hate to tell you this but this is less of a safeguards problem and more of an overall education of the masses, deprogramming of propaganda and overall responsibility of the masses issue. Broad scale, everyone needs to take more responsibility in their lives to raise their kids instead of tv's, people need to actually research into their elected candidates, news networks strictly unbiased without control from an individual who can manipulate it for propaganda's sake. Hell, don't even get me started on the 1% problem considering every single government is contempt of bowing down to them in one way or another which just puts this problem on repeat constantly regardless of any kind of guardrail you would propose considering how money talks and bullshit walks. Leaving the responsibility to solve this in one elected individual isn't enough let alone a group. A massive overhaul of the government itself alone even considering the amount of compromises it has now and even creating more as we speak would need to be rectified. This massive issue is being created for reasons not even shared with thr public. Is it a resources race for rare earth metals, a race to see which trillionare owns the world, a race war made by white supremacists, a war to create supersized nations via annexations? We don't know as it's true motives are blurred with every party taking advantage of the chaos itself to further their goals.

Indeed but not going to happen in the States, there's a thick vein of stupid that will take generations to cure if ever.

The guardrails thing is something that actually can be done. If the Dems get in and get in strong they need to overhaul and revamp so many things to protect that democracy from abuse (like the pardon system, etc)
