Two exemple which are frequently used as exemple are Italy and Germany in the 1930´s but neither Hitler nor Mussolini came in power through the election, but by strong arming the power in place, and after that (at least for Germany) use the excuse of rigged election to validate their power.
They both abused that power afterwards to become dictators.
And calling Alende a dictator need some Shutzpah. On this point, I think we would have to stop at the « agree to disagree » level.
Second, I would say that the jury is still in debat for Bukele. Yes, it’s re-election is anti-constituai but he seems to still have the support of the population, as the election seemed to be fair and healthy.
But I agree that his legal shenningans to allow for his re-election don’t bode well for the future. Let’s wait and see.
It seems that the story you have is different from the one I have. Could you tell yours?
