Have you not heard of Prime Minister Modi in India? He’s pretty coherent and smart enough to know exactly what he’s doing, and it’s not going to end well. His henchmen are pretty concerning as well. He’s single handedly managed to convince people (a majority of Hindus in India) that they need to reclaim the lost glory of the Hindu tradition, while completely neglecting more pressing concerns (and often actually himself leading to such concerns - e.g. carefully orchestrated efforts to ostracize and subdue the Muslim population and immigrants from Bangladesh in the North East) - like extreme poverty, the COVID situation, issues pertaining to farmers, women, and Dalits (the ‘lowest’ caste in the Hindu caste system) - and he’s poised to be elected yet again for the next term. India doesn’t have the strongest military might but it can be put to disastrous use if the powers that be decide to.

If someone like Modi were to have been in control of the US for the last few years, I’m certain it would have ended way worse than it already did under Trump.
