This is what happens when you have a system of gov't that's vulnerable to abuses of power because all previous leaders were gentlemanly and courteous enough to never step out of line, and then one day you elect an intellectually challenged part-time snowboard instructor who's not capable of comprehending basic concepts like the rule of law, conflicts of interest, political neutrality of the military and police etc etc. So he immediately consolidates power and turns into a dictator because there are no safeguards in place to stop him, because safeguards were never necessary before, because everyone previous elected were decent enough to never step out of bounds.
