    I’m not sure what you mean by that analogy.

      Sorry. I meant a scenario where there is a strong man at the helm of the nation and everyone bends over backwards trying to please him.

      Ceaușescu was a comunist dictator that famously (or infamously) hunted bears. And often, somehow he hunted more bears than he shot them. As everyone was eager to find a bear (or more) that their fierce leader had shot.

      That’s what I meant.

      There’s a Behind the bastards episode on him. As there will be one for Trump, probably in some dystopic future surrounded by radioactive rubble.
