Zelensky makes various moves to try to cling to power once the war ends. Western libs will spin this as somehow not a violation of democracy, but will quickly just stop talking about Ukraine outright. Once he’s deposed, the government will descend into a fight between the right wing faction that feels vaguely white nationalist, and the right wing faction that’s just straight up sporting fascist imagery. One of them will seize control in a violent coup and establish a dictatorship. Western libs, if they pay any attention at all, will act like this just came out of the blue and had nothing to do with the prolonged war.
