    The US was, for better or worse, a sort-of functioning democracy until the late 2010s. And it did quite well.

    All it needed was a russian agent infiltrating the white house to damage the country

        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.
