Average Yankistani politician
Whenever someone says "authoritarian," you can mentally substitute in "Anyone the West doesn't like, regardless of their actual poltics."

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
Unless that person is also popular with the masses. Then they are an "authoritarian populist" and the people are "brainwashed."
Hey while we're at it, what time is the 4 millionth military flyover at the sports game, again? I need to apply lotion to get ready to jerk off the flag.
Every government has a class character and is authoritarian against a certain class. When they accuse others of being "authoritarian" they really just mean "authoritarian against my social class". To people like her, sending the military to repress a worker's protest is not authoritarian, but redistribution of land is.
How did Chiang Kai-shek become president again?
Pretty sure it was because he ran a solid campaign and focused on the fundamentals
say what you will about mass killing your opponents, but a corpse cannot stand for election in the Republic of China

EXTREMELY NORMAL for a "democratic leader" to have a monument bigger than the actual emperors' 
Sun Yat Sen still has a big one on the mainland, literally built on the same site as a bunch of old emperors. China's just kinda like that I guess.
he was elected, tho
He even resigned without much fuss to make compromise, but they guy he resigned for literally crowned himself.
Also Sun mausoleum was build in 1929, so by the very same party who build that one in Taiwan too.
SYS is worthy of being venerated though, the Xinhai revolution gets kinda dwarfed by the tumultuous events of the latter half the 20th century but all republican revolutions are really fucking cool and worthy of study.
To be fair they built a giant golden mao statue lol
in any case no mao statue, even that one is as large as that fucking eyesore lol
Ha, the irony that entrepreneurs built a statue of Mao only to be denied by the CCP.
Chen Weihua might have something constructive to say here.
she's a White Terror all right
we need a LowTierChen emoji
"Taiwan has totally disavowed the White Terror, tho"
