One man controls entire country. Yet we call that freedom and democracy.

Are you talking about the president? Because if so lol

Having one guy in charge of the entire executive branch was possibly the biggest blunder made by the framers of the US Constitution.

name checks out

Or Congress and the courts made the blunder of allowing the executives to accumulate so much power.

Fair, but one is structural, the other is a series of bad choices that could be undone without upending the constitutional order.
