Stopped reading after the first paragraph, which said:

People overwhelmingly voted for the new dictator, since the dictator's top generals voted for him and the generals are people.

This is kind of how it works in Hong Kong, but a bit more convoluted.

That's a fallacy whereas what I said was simply a logic statement. true or false?
