Witkoff and Carlson talk about Europe exactly as Russian television propagandists do. Must dismiss the rich functional democracies where people lead long happy lives so that our own citizens settle for tawdry and impoverishing fascist oligarchy.

The touchstone of most authoritarian regimes is not the kind of total control that most people feel in their day-to-day lives. It is that the regime is only selectively bound by law, producing constant low-grade anxiety as to whether, how, or against whom power will be exercised.
