And? You seem to believe that a democracy refers to a bundle of freedoms that you personally believe everyone should have. Democracy means governance by the will of the majority. If the majority want people to be jailed based on their writings or speech, than that's what happens in a democratic country.

- markdown 2y agoIf the person you're calling a dictator was elected in free elections by the majority, then yes, that's a democracy. Their political party, tribe, whatever you want to call it is irrelevant.
