This fucking shit, what even is democracy then?

Vote for our guy, or you will die! He would rather watch you be deported or killed than cede a single fucking inch on anything that matters to you, but if you don't fully surrender your political voice to him an even worse guy will come and punish you, and you'll deserve it. If you try to hold our guy to account in any way, even just rhetorically, you're a traitor.

How is this different in any way to liberals' wild fantasies of the "authoritarian totalitarian communist dictatorship"? They'll never explain because they're physically incapable of processing this framing.
