How much time have dictators spent traveling in countries that are democracies?

I don't know if they realize that democracy doesn't cause chaos; it causes order.

If the only information that dictators in other countries have about life in democracies is from the news, they might not know how peaceful it is around here.

Yes, people yell and scream.  They protest.  They have rallies.  They Twitter.  However, the majority of human beings in the United States who are angry about politics do those things for some of their time, and they spend the rest of their time working, socializing, caring for their families, and living.  There is so much functionality in the operations of life in the United States that we have time to be angry, and the means to express our anger, and other emotions also.  

Personal responsibility is ingrained in a citizenry that has a history of democracy.  It might not always seem that way, particularly to people whose job security or investment in particular issues depends on elections.  However, even the negligence of people who don't vote is a sign that democracy works; it works enough for people who have had no other form of government to take it for granted.  We are the descendants of people who had to submit to other forms of government, for whom the contrast between self-governance and despotism was immediate and visceral and part of their life experience.  As selectively myopic as they were, defining humanity and its corresponding rights according to their individual, political and economic interests, the template which they used overshadowed them, freed the descendants of those whom they enslaved (many of whom are also now perusing options for online Christmas shopping rather than figuring out where to vote), and cannot die. 

For every American, without exception, it is a reflex to demand accountability of the powerful.  Not every American cares about what happens to other people, which doesn't make us all that different from the rest of the world.  What does make us different from people who are not used to democracy is that, when something happens to an American, that American thinks these things:

-Who let this happen?
-I'm going to talk to that person.
-That person will apologize and solve this problem.
-Someone above that person will apologize and solve this problem.
-If nobody apologizes and the problem isn't solved, someone is going to lose his or her job.
-Apology received and problem solved/Everyone's going to hear about how there was no apology and nobody was fired.

In the midst of all of this, our civilization doesn't topple over.  We have a lot of problems, but we don't have that problem.

Even the greed that propels a dictator to want to maintain control over a country for the duration of his or her life, and to pass that control on to descendants or others chosen by the dictator, doesn't have to be a motive for such a dictator to refuse to implement other forms of government.  If the United States, where the entertainment industry and the media are owned by the same people, driving the country's culture of celebrity and its worship of wealth, is not a testament to the love of greed, then I don't know what is.
