The post-2011 authoritarian wave hasn’t found a sustainable model. Today’s authoritarians aren’t stable. They’re not delivering. They’re mired in corruption with few redeeming claims. Polarization and misinformation goes only so far. It’s cracking in many places. Buckle up, 2020.

That’s so stupid that I don’t even have words. You wave some powerpoints and cash presumably, and millions of people in dozens of countries start risking everything? People aren’t idiots who don’t value their own lives.
