I dont trust the system. I'm just saying that I'm happy it is so fractured that, at the end of te day, someone like Trump will face a gridlock.

F3ynman, I know re-elections have to happen. Unless the vote of confidence passes. But I dread what they will mean for the country given who stands to be elected.

All reasonable voices among republicans have disappeared. And they have documented plans to replace people in all branches and public administration that aren't in line.

mz, I admire your trust in the system, but I cannot share it. If it was working, Trump would be in prison now and not on his way into the white house.

deleted my comment just to specify: yeah new elections in Germany., I mean. I mean, it's ridiculous to rule with a minority government. What's even the approval at this point? Sub 10%?

It is much easier for this type of system to be abused by dictator wannabies like Trump. In a way, the very Byzantine structure of the power makes efficient government work harder in US

Re-election in Germany? I'm even more afraid of those. Nazis will likely win a huge share and we'll move from a moderately progressive government to a conservative right one. It's so fucking depressing.
