I’m just trying to understand. Erdogan in Turkey, Putin in Russia, Orban in Hungary etc… Why do these leaders still get so much support after all they’ve done? What do they exactly like about them?

Aren’t these people seeing a massive drop in their quality of life?

    Well, in Russia, Putin is having his opponents killed/thrown in jail. It’s not a democracy, like in NK where Kim have 99.9% of the vote.
