Apparently Putin's landslide victory means Russian morale is low.

Other bangers from this collective of intellectual giants include claims that the massive turnout victory for Putin in Russia in fact demonstrates "things are not well", "the economy is collapsing, "the military is resisting orders", and "the population knows he is a thief". Seriously they are literally writing this on Twitter...

    A real democracy is one where the ruling party or leader has at most a 30% approval rating. Anything more is undemocratic. You're not supposed to like your government or think it's doing a good job, and god forbid the government actually does something for the people that the people want and approve of, that would be "bribing" the voters, only Awful Authoritarian Autocratic despots do that.

      Of course, you want some kind of...populist to win?! Someone who gets elected because they actually do things the people approve of? That's the most dictatorial thing I've ever heard!

      Actually doing things for the people is called "populism", which we know is bad of course since the masses aren't smart enough to want any policies.
