Real
energy on this, given how liberals reacted to Xi Jinping winning an unprecedented third term.
"If Evo Moralez was elected a third term, this will've proven that Bolivia's system was bureaucratic, dictatorial and despotic. However, if the same were to happen to the current president, Lai Ching-te, this was a sign that Taiwan, despite its struggles against 'CCP and KMT disinformation', was still a flourishing liberal democracy"
Or something like that....
Exactly that. You're channeling his spirit.
To be clear, it's a different leader from the same party. Tsai Yingwen had to step back due to term limits.
Also to be fair, ever since the New Deal, liberals have hated winning more than a couple elections in a row lol
People start wondering why nothing has fundamentally changed
ahhhh true democracy
