    The thing about it is that while democracy is not perfect and can be abused, autocracies like Hungary and Russia are broken in so fundamental ways that it does not even compare.

    I mean, yeah we have AfD getting a lot of votes. Russia had a rogue general lead his troops to the capital in an attempted coup.

      I agree completely. and

      autocracies like Hungary and Russia are broken in so fundamental ways that it does not even compare. is a very important point to make. I just think that it is worth acknowledging that it is not some unique flaw with America.
