Slop.

A system with a free media, an independent judiciary, and internal checks and balances makes it unlikely that tankies would be able to consolidate power and make a country autocratic, even if they won a round of elections. We're more or less seeing the right-wing version of that happening in the US, where Trump clearly would love to be a dictator, but federalism, the courts, and to a lesser extent Congress have slowed him down and presented challenges that make it harder for him to succeed in his effort.

These people can't be real. I refuse to believe anyone could be this completely detached from reality.
