    If you can’t beat 'em, rig the elections.

    If that doesn’t work, throw 'em in jail.

    Straight out of the autocrats’ playbook.

      If you can’t beat 'em, rig the elections.

      If that doesn’t work, throw 'em in jail.

      And if that doesn’t work, start prepping your military for the inevitable civil war.
