Real parenti 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"
