A plan for national subversion

What do you call someone who has autocratic delusions but whose individual power is something akin to a gamma's progeny - a wet sock?  Democrats.  The only power they have inherently is expressed through mob rule.  They believe fervently in "liberal democracy" to the point of forcing it on a populace who have absolutely no want or need of it.  The following is a paragraph from The Democracy Playbook. 

European states—the primary focus of this report—are not immune to these realities. Across the continent, illiberal parties have gained support among citizens who see their governments as unable to meet their economic and security needs, nor adequately addressing concerns associated with migration and globalization. Countries in Central and Eastern Europe that made significant gains in building their new democracies following the Cold War are now experiencing a crisis of illiberalism that is weakening the rule of law, the separation of powers, and the integrity of elections. In older and more entrenched democracies in Western Europe, societies and governments are grappling with how to handle powerful populist and nationalist movements that exude illiberal tendencies. [emphasis mine]

The key here is that populist movements are about the people, and already rise from a people's realization that a foreign elite cannot benefit them.  But these worshipers of liberal democracy know better than any group could know for themselves.  Democracy is the autocrat here and these people are it's High Priests.  Democrat couldn't be a more accurate term.

Read their playbook, understand their strategies.  At this point, I don't believe they care if they win the election.  They will be enacting their playbook and plan regardless.
