>That's how you end up with Belarus: >Run democracy so badly, so undemocratically >and produce such poor governments that >people just stop believing. There were no democratic elections in Belarus since 1994. And people did not stop believing. To the contrary, the population backed the opposition candiate in 2020 much more than it did in 2010. I am afraid that you do not realise how differnt life in Belarus is. As an example, people are routinely jailed for being independent observers at the last presidential elections. Or for the posession of the opposition flag. Or for reading "forbidden" Telegram channels. Before they are jailed, they are beaten up and are forced to present public excuses on camera. These public excuses are then aired on state TV, Telegram channels and published on Youtube as advertising [1].
