Zombie democracy. you know, they have an electoral charade. thats what lukashenko did in belarus. thats what putin did in russia. thats what ortega did in nicaragua. thats what museveni did in uganda. these are complete charades. yes, the autocrat stays in power, but with none of the legitimacy that even that managed democracy would have brought. that is not a great long—term strategy for survival. as you talk to me about what you see happening in the world, im kind of struggling to understand...
