    I would say you’re arguing from ignorance then. The civil war in America happened because slavers didn’t like the outcome of an election.

      They asked for an example of ANY country that doesn’t resort to authoritarianism when the government is threatened by a plurality of citizens. You can choose any currently functioning democracy after a tight election.

        The question becomes then, are those stable democracies threatened? I would argue no, that you’re using irrelevant examples to prove your position.

        American capitalism was threatened to an extent by Bernie’s campaign and a contemporary cnn headline compared his “rise” to that of Hitler. So you tell me. Do they get defensive when actual leftist principles are on the line. Looks to me that it is the case.

          Ukrainian stable democracy seems very threatened at the moment. I am not too into American politics so i dont know about the Bernie situation.
