Leaders who lead their nations into stagnant and ruinous policies. Think Brezhnev. Mehmed V.<br />It's generally a series of unfortunate coincidences that lead to their installments, and it's usually a series of blundering events they create leading to their empire's decline.<br />Well, helping to lead to their empire's decline.<br />The political atmosphere which foster these sorts of leaders helps, too.<br />Trump crawled fully formed out of a membrane which was vomited onto the floor in the United States during the end of Age of Reagan. I really can't say it was inevitable that Trump would win election in the USA, but it was inevitable that someone much like Trump eventually would.<br />It's down to the momentum of history, I suppose, that it happened.<br /><br />To reject Trump, it would involve something people probably aren't comfortable with. It would involve rebuilding the organization which is meant to oppose people such as Trump. It would be rebuilding the Democratic party, booting to the curb much of its incompetent and self-interested leadership, and simply starting over.<br />That won't happen, however.<br />Not without an open Democratic Party civil war whereby the new growing Millennial-centric voting bloc, which almost voted into power Bernie Sanders, wrenches power out of the hands of the bloc which handed the most recent Democratic primary to Hilary Clinton.<br />And that probably won't happen.<br /><br />It isn't the motivation, I question. Simply the momentum. Things have gone on as they have for far too long. It's simply too late to stop the decline and stagnation from happening.<br />When things finally come to a halt. When there's a crash. That's when things can start to be rebuilt. But even then, there's probably already bastards positioning themselves so they'll come out on top of the rubble.<br />It's about timing and luck, I suppose. Hope for the right leaders to show up at the right time, and back them best as possible.Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10759047914577194212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-76415789875289736332017-07-31T11:04:11.611-07:002017-07-31T11:04:11.611-07:00If anyone wants more detail on this US report, I&#...<br />If anyone wants more detail on this US report, I've waded through the whole thing, painful as that was, and posted highlights from the 140-page document.<br /><br />It does raise some important points that most of us rarely contemplate.
