he will install dictatorial rule immediately
Banjo Paterson,
One rule for all no matter how flawed, is much more effective than everyone's rule for one ! Democracy has proven to be worse than malevolent Dictatorship in the long term.
Democracy is claimed to be peaceful. Which democratic Nation is peaceful or has peace right now ?

Democracy can't work according to its intentions because people aren't & never will be democratic. One just has to look at how "democratic" the Woke & Greens are.
The greediest and/or most selfish of people are the ones who spruik "Democracy" !
The non-contributors are pointing the finger at those who provide & call them greedy yet they have no qualms about sponging up the Tax Dollars !
Democracy could only work if people worked also !

Unlike Western democracies in thrall to the left and getting less democratic all the time, Russia still believes in the family, and has banned gender bending: surgical atrocities and hormone therapy; and they know what woman is.

Instead of asking people who don't even know much about Australia what they think about Russia, people asking such stupid questions should find out what Russians themselves think about their own country. They might be surprised.

Just because a country is considered by outsiders to not be what they call democratic, doesn't mean that Russians, Chinese, whatever, are gasping to be what outsiders think they should be.

People with so much time on their hands that they have to ask pointless questions of complete strangers - just made up names on a computer screen - seem to lack the ability, or the ‘thinkable, to put the question where it might have a chance of being answered by real people who might have the knowledge to answer it in an authoritative way.

An Ode to Russia.

Russia's a nation that's soulful and deep
With thinkers like Dostoevsky and Tolstoy
Who made people think
Rudolph Nureyev put all in a trance
Mikhail Baryshnikov and the Bolshoi
Boy, could they dance
It wasn't their vodka that made people sing
It was their heartfelt passionate songs
And balalaika strings

But, there's a dark side to this nation
Their frozen inferno is an aberration
Where millions of bodies lie side by side
Crimes the authorities try to hide
The prisons and psych wards need to go
In their place freedom should be allowed to grow
Autocrats like Putin must cease to exist
Leaders like Navalny must continue to persist
Russia needs to be free once again
Then all those deaths wouldn't be in vain.

Can we get our politicians to return Australia to a democracy after they forced multiculturalism on us without a vote. Same with mass immigration that a majority of Australians are against, and would vote against if true democracy existed in Australia. And let's not forget the Communist-Chinese methods used during Covid.

F…k Russia and the people trying to fool us that Australia is still a democracy . We have enough anti-democratic practices here in Australia. Just voting for a duopoly is not democracy.

In Ireland, Catholics and Protestants are united and marching against "asylum seekers". Australians sit back and take, so cowered by the political class they have let themselves become.

"I find Trump’s refusal to accept the democratic result of the presidential election of 2020 preoccupying, "

So I guess you must be mightily triggered by Hilary's ( and for that matter, most of the Democrats') refusal to accept the results of the 2016 election. Oh I forgot...its different when they do it.

"He [Trump] has already warned that he will install dictatorial rule immediately “for the first year of his term” if he is re-elected in 2024."

False... I'll leave you to look up why its false.
