The West is realising that @magyarpeterMP is not a normal Western politician. He is more in the vein of the autocratic-narcissistic tradition and wants to pull Hungary away from Western democratic norms. The world is watching - and the allies of this government are few. 🇭🇺 https://t.co/2ozchVeEAq #Hungary #Democracy #Autocracy #HU
Trump is laying the groundwork to steal the election and impose his corrupt autocracy forever. His frenzied followers support it, the majority of Americans aren’t aware and sleepwalk into it. Like it happened in Russia, Turkey, India, Hungary, Poland, Venezuela... https://t.co/QzyKxuZLsZ #Trump #Elections #Autocracy #RU #TR #IN #HU #PL #VE
This means he perverted the presidential system. Unfortunately, the American people can only “do something” on Election Day, if they are being let. Otherwise: autocracy. #ElectionDay #Autocracy #PresidentialSystem #US
Low-fertility autocracies seems to have little trouble with re-industrializing or waging war when needed. (These used to be 20th century strengths of high-fertility democracy! ) #LowFertility #Autocracy #Reindustrialization #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedinthetweet.
Trump's habit of changing his mind is a classic tactic of the power play of autocrats. Mind-changing is a form of control. It means that everyone, including your own advisers, have to keep listening to you, have to keep adjusting to your new view https://t.co/t0hPKzi9KO #Trump #Autocracy #PowerPlay #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
Life under Turkey's Autocracy: Erdogan emerges from @suzyhans book as a ruthless autocrat who rose to power through undeniable popular support. Then came corruption and oppression, gutting of state institutions, loyalty over expertise https://t.co/vsvVqB8Rvw #Turkey #Erdogan #Autocracy #TR
The Russian autocracy is based on lies. When officials tell lies about the war in Ukraine, many ordinary Russians choose to believe them. But when Finance Minister Anton Siluanov denies that fuel prices have jumped— just as the country is in the middle of a full-blown crisis https://t.co/91MoQNuryb #RussianAutocracy #UkraineWar #FuelCrisis #RU #UA
Pathetic…One can expect Kremlin-organised protests against Martians soon. Serious point - every autocratic regime which becomes a subject of ridicule rather than awe is displaying signs of beginning to slide into oblivion.👇 #Kremlin #Autocracy #Protests #RU
The autocratic PM in Hungary @magyarpeterMP is completely out of control. Local media criticised him and he responded by telling the CEOs of two media companies to step down. We have not seen anything like this in Europe since the fall of the USSR. Will Western libs support it? #Hungary #MediaFreedom #Autocracy #HU #EU

"The state is me" as if from a comic opera. The new rebranding of the Czech Republic into the form of an autocracy feels like a comic opera. Babiš is transforming our country in his image under the slogan "the state is me," erasing the boundaries between the nation and the leader and projecting himself as the embodied Czech Republic - in https://t.co/LsnmCwThYM (translated)
