I say it’s more complicated in that these dictators control mass media and hence why the “vote dictator” germ is everywhere and sustained.
Back in 2016 people were saying that trump is a product of decades of propaganda. Like decades of propaganda got us to trump
In my opinion, the control of mass media is a problem that comes after you elect a dictator. Like we’re talking orban and netanyahu here. Trump did not have Media control until 2016. While arguably he did have some in 2024, his media control wasn’t this strong at any point in history.
Media control is the reason why getting rid of dictators is extremely hard. What I am talking about is what even gets them into the office in the first place
