Or Turkey - In both countries, a majority party that appeals to Social Conservatives, the religious and nationalists. Both led by a demagogue, populist leader who deeply offends liberals and who has a habit of bullying the media (on Twitter, or just by throwing them in jail).
On the flip side, an ineffective opposition party, supported by wealthy urban liberals + minority groups, whose sole selling point seems to be "social liberalism".
Bonus points for the HDP and Sanders taking a broadly similar spoiler role.
