    I mean, the only part I wrote was the question, and then the bit at the bottom where I draw parallel. If you don’t like the definitions, they’re copy and pasted from those sources, so feel free to write and tell them how you feel on it.

    I also think Merkel needed removed sooner, and I definitely don’t believe the current system of government in the US is benefiting them at this time.

    I was asking a question, you’re the one drawing inferences. But I do appreciate that you answered the question and gave examples.

    With your answer in mind, would you really say that lifting the term limits by a government that has ACTIVELY put down dissent as well as blocked and criminalized images of said politician being compared to a children’s book character is actually democratic?

      I think the problem you’re having here is that not being democratic doesn’t mean being a dictator. There are many forms of government that have existed before and will exist in the future. It’d be good if we took the time to understand at a minimum that.
