If people think that we are safe because it is a democracy, and Trump was somehow elected, let's not forget that Russia is also a democracy and Poutine was also elected and re-elected.

Now we can be scared because it shows that "votation" doesn't prevent dictators to grab the power to abuse if it for their own good.
