Oh and BTW I am on record as saying I think democracy is a HORRIBLE political system of mob rule and should go the way of Communism as an ideology and system of government, straight into the dustbin!
Cool. Glad all of our cards are on the table. Most Trump supporters aren’t comfortable acknowledging their authoritarian leanings, but it’s good that you are. I see why Trump appeals to a fascist like yourself.

Putin was democratically elected once. Everyone makes mistakes. Unfortunately for the Russians, the current elections are a farce and Putin has had most of his chief rivals assassinated or imprisoned as have the others on your list.

I’m not a fan of authoritarian or fascist regimes, but to each their own I suppose.

I'm not a Fascist either. My political ideology is not relevant here. Putin was elected each and every time, period. I sometimes wonder which politician gets leftists more in a tizzy, is it Trump or Putin?

You’re at the very least an authoritarian. That’s enough.

Putin has been elected because dissent has been quashed and his rivals imprisoned, banished, or assassinated.

Nice role model.

So. If you are a Trump supporter who are your favorites besides Trump?
Ok I detest Trump, but who cares about other world leaders enough to hero worship them?

I was once a fan of Margret Thatcher. Classy woman who was made of iron. Other than her I simply don't pay any attention to who other countries have for leadership.

Im sorry I just can't be a groupie for politicians regardless of nation of origin.

Yep, sure am. Prefer a strong leader who loves his/her people and does everything for those people. As I said it was in no particular order but if I had to pick one it would definitely be Orban. That dude is AWESOME.

No more elections...

Vladimir Putin becomes Russia's president for life

Reminds me of a old Conan O'Brien bit where he interviews Saddam Hussein. Saddam claims to get 100% of the vote in his election. He says its his campaign platform. Vote for me and live, vote for the other guy and die.
