Nah, despite making a complete clusterfuck of things in Australia, the Labor party still got voted back in.
Multiple countries like Germany and France, the government self imploded before the election... the conservatives in Canada handed the win to Liberals on a platter, despite a massive lead.
The UK, the left scored a massive win and are now about as popular as a case or gonorrhea...

You'll see that your assertion of: "
every incumbent in the western world got shellacked in that cycle" is rather... incorrect.
As I stated earlier, if Trump was an authoritarian, why does he keep getting blocked/delayed in the courts? Why doesn't he just restart the government? Why does he allow the MSM to make up shit about him(and get successfully sued) all the time and why does he allow people to protest in the streets like that? ...almost like the perceived authoritarianism is all in peoples heads.
Even if he somehow was the authoritarian he is being accused of, what exactly would a bunch of majority geriatrics, standing around with signs and stupid chants going to do to stop it?
