Yes, but that's not a dictator fetish (ok, it is, but it is a different one)... He knows dictators are a bad thing to be, because he calls the people he doesn't like one. But he never calls out actual dictators, he actually makes deals with them and helps them. That says he likes and respects that model of governance, even if he knows it is deeply unpopular and deeply disrespects functioning democracies. And uses it to rouse his stans.
