Heh, my first reaction was the same as mtgx. Look at the dictators/semi-dictators/wannabe-dictators in major countries around the world now:
1. USA - Trump
2. Turkey - Erdogen
3. Russia - Putin
4. India - Modi
Meanwhile Macron won a highly contested race in France against a far right candidate, Merkel did something similar.
When the democracies in the world are in such disarray and can't band together to collectively act as a check on authoritarianism, it emboldens the latter.
