I would hate to be in the position of having to support a government I do not believe in. That is often the case in the Third World, where dictators or religious mania rules. And it is sometimes the case in First World nations where effective dictators hold sway as if they were demigods, and nostalgia for a lost empire replaces common sense.
How quickly the United States could slip into the absurd situation of contemporary Russia! How easily could Trump become the new Putin, or the US could be mimicking Uganda in its insane anti-gay policies! We in America are moments away from being as foolish and stupid as the poor people in Russia, or the encaptured multitudes in places like Uganda.
We still have our election process to weed out the morons and the "strong men!"
