Democracies have a better long-term survival track record than dictatorships because they can and do evolve to deal with new dangers. The success of America’s experiment in self-government may well hinge, I believe, on whether the country’s democracy can evolve to deal with new information technologies that help spread falsehoods that undermine democracy.

My personal opinion is that Santos lies are in a league of their own that are criminal and  deserve prosecution and he should be removed from office.
