This is, to me, the key passage. Elected authoritarians are far more effective at subverting democracy when they have the backing of a party and legislature: Trump and the GOP, Modi and the BJP, Orbán and Fidesz. Democratic rot isn't about one person. It's about institutions. https://t.co/piQdloErtm — PolitiTweet.org

@CasMudde The end of the piece has some good stuff on that sort of Linz-esque line of argument as applied to modern Brazil. Bolsonaro's efforts to consolidate support in the security forces is the biggest cause for worry there! — PolitiTweet.org
