How to ensure you lose

Step 1: Refuse to address the issues of peaceful protesters.
Step 2: Show no mercy with violent crackdowns as well as economic and social blacklisting that will leave people destitute that won't end even if the people disperse.
Step 3: Cower in terror as a previously nonviolent group of people that were peacefully protesting who now have nothing to lose commit fully to the destruction of your regime and all of your supporters, showing no quarter to any of you.
Step 4: Die and become the next history book despot that is looked upon with scorn and hatred and mocked for looking stupid.
