Germany 8.8 when they had the same chancellor for 16 years in Angela Merkel lol. And then Evo Morales tries the same thing, and Bolivia gets a 4.5.
Westerners when Angela Merkel stays for 16 years:
Westerners when Evo Morales wants to stay for 16 years:
the german liberal believes both that term limits in the US are democratic, that they are not in germany and also they're more hardline about their constititution being perfect than the most fundamentalist republicans as per change
I mean it gets changed all the time but it's like in the boring bits about how the state functions so who cares
Germany is like 3 election terms away from being a CDU one party state and even then two of those terms are basically the social democracts doing christian democrat stuff
Which is even funnier when you realize there's no like legal / constitutional reason for there to not be a plurality government that gets like weed legalized or whatever (I think that's been politically viable for about 20 years at this point), it's just the underlying assumption is if you don't have a massive 50%+ coalition the country will go under, like Weimar, due to infighting. It's basically placing some notion of "stability" over everything else. Which is currently in it's funniest phase as the govering coalition is the greens, the libertarians and the rightest-wing of the social democrats who get fucking nothing done due to infighting.
Hence, I propose that germany is a one party state ruled by the party of "stability", which is every party
it's just the underlying assumption is if you don't have a massive 50%+ coalition the country will go under, like Weimar, due to infighting
Even funnier that the country might really go under (again) because they started a war with Russia (again) and are in the process of losing because of insane and totally unrealistic assumptions about Russia (again)
Germany 8.8
Fuck me. No. It cannot be a dogwhistle. I'm losing my mind.
you are, but in this case your madness reveals a deeper truth
