That's actually true worldwide. Wanna see how an economy looks like after over 30 years of almost uninterrupted conservative leadership? Look at where Germany stands now. Crumbling infrastructure, worst Internet in Europe, industry unable and/or unwilling to open itself to modern technology (best example being the German car industry).

I mean, Camacho was also black, so definitely not a Republican president.

40 years and while that was definitely an important part of it, it was mainly half a million people protesting on the streets of every major city.

Literally the 1984 playbook.

But they can also be ended with protests. See East Germany.

"Run"? I think the headline dropped an "i" somewhere.

Idiocracy would be an upgrade, it has a president who listened to people smarter than himself.

Well, we can always limit the damage because the damage only goes up if we don't.

Oh yeah, that's way worse! But it doesn't make me very optimistic about Germany's future either, even without the Trump tragedy.

Yeah, that's also wild.

Our current government literally just collapsed today so... yeah.
