Putin Wins Reelection! #usa #russia Putin has won reelection! He won with a record number of votes, getting 87% of the vote. Obviously it was rigged but why do dictators feel the need to hold elections when their power is absolute already & they’ve already killed their opponents? And why do they always make the results so unbelievable? The Dictator’s Handbook argues that when you’re at the top of a dog-eat-dog system, - you have to spend most of your time keeping yourself on top because absolute power doesn’t feel absolute to dictators. Their rule is inherently illegitimate and they know this so they need a way to manufacture legitimacy. And that’s what the fake elections are for. They help keep down resistance and challengers to the throne. They too, inherently, know they’re rigged – but when there is no free speech, it’s hard to know just how rigged they are. The elections also give them leverage internationally. When Saddam killed his own people, he and his supporters just turned around and said “this is what the people voted for, so go away”. It’s about the illusion of legitimacy & popularity – and rubber stamping an authority that needs to constantly remind itself and the world that it should be there.
