My friend immigrated from Iraq pre-gulf war.
In the few of the regions where elections were allowed, a soldier would stand over you and watch you fill in your ballot. Both options were Saddam or one of his officials that had no political interests and if your hand strayed too close to the bottom of the paper to the 2nd choice, the soldier would move his gun towards your head.
In the last year he was in the country he apparently took too long to make his 'decision' so they brought him to a building far out in the fields and beat him, shackled him up and removed all his finger and toe nails with a pair of pliers.
They let him go 2 days later.
Calling trump a 'fascist dictator' or any kind of that sentiment causes me to lose 100% permanant respect for the person who claims it.
