Citizens in liberal democracies are allowed to dislike their leaders. That's good. I'm not talking countries like North Korea where you're actively forced to approve of your leader - I'm talking lying strongmen like Erdogan, Bibi, Modi, Orban, Putin and Xi who lie to enough people to cause a cult of personality that socially enforces approval of the leader by making disapproval socially undesirable (some with more success than more).
The people of Hungary have nothing to be proud of compared to the people of France - they're a gullible and pathetic population, lied to by their leaders to hate their vulnerable LGBT and minority neighbors, and in most of their country socially forced to be supporters of the regime or else they'd be Soros-backing weirdos. Bibi has successfully made "leftist" a swear word in Israel,though his corruption and cowardice caused him to flop and become unpopular with the right wing population. Israelis have nothing to be proud of in their ideological uniformity (right to center right is an overwhelming majority) - they're a gullible and pathetic population, believing their leaders' lies to become insanely racist and create a situation where nazi-esque rhetoric is more acceptable than liberal rhetoric in the Jewish state. It's sad, and nothing to be proud of. I'm proud of the western democracies where there's no ideological uniformity and no one has to like or approve of their leader.
