"Autocratic" is just the modern way of calling non-westerners uncivilized barbarians. The West is still stuck in its 19th century colonial supremacist mentality.

It does look like in the west people are becoming increasingly aware of the mismatch between the narrative and the lived realities of the western system.

But you see, a country doing that if the constitution allows for that is democratic. Because the country is democratic and so the constitution is democratic making the country democratic. Simple liberal math.
