29. What would be the point of citizens listening to autocrats?

Autocrats gonna do what they're gonna do. They won't listen to citizens, voters, journalists, scientists, historians, logic, or reason.

The GOP has sown the seeds of its own destruction. They have announced a destination and everyone knows it.
