A critical term for how pro‑Western political groups argue that an authoritarian or [totalitarian] government can still be “democratic” if it was elected by a majority—especially when that government aligns with Western interests. The logic holds that as long as the ruler came to power through a vote (even a sham election) and maintains Western support, it is not “real” [authoritarianism]. Critics point out that this standard is never applied to non‑Western regimes. The term exposes the [selective outrage] of liberal interventionists who condemn illiberal governments only when they resist Western hegemony.
