Who's eating up the western propaganda throwing words around like 'fascist'?
Bro, Russia is ruled by a dictator-for-life, has some of the most conservative social norms and laws, including institutionalised homophobia and suppression of the press, and is currently engaged in an expansionist war.
Lmao. They have a different democracy than yours, that's not automatically a dictatorship in the way you mean it. Inasmuch as a liberal system can be "democratic", the US has no leg to stand on calling others dictatorships. Your presidents might as well come out with a big hand up their ass on a podium branded with your banks' names.
I'm not American, nor was that my logic. Please don't resort to strawmen as dumb as "different form of democracy = dictatorship".
