Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Obama, Brezhnev - Popular leader who under-delivered and kept the country stagnant and slowly rotting from the inside.
Trump, Andropov - Reformer with some controversial views, known for promoting [Gorbachev] into government; disliked by the ruling elite and didn't stay in office long.
Biden, Chernenko - Old and ill from day 1, but the favorite of the ruling elite. Had grand plans to return the country to previous success, but failed spectacularly at actually doing stuff and at the end of their rule, the population was slowly turning hostile toward the government
This is bullshit analysis and a stretch.
No it’s completely factually grounded (source: it’s funny)
Wait then which Trump Acolyte is most likely to not give a shit about The American Project to the point where they’re openly fine with it imploding
No idea, I'm not American so I only know the funniest and worst of the bozos.
Also, Gorbachev was kind of a fool instead of actively malicious - he had idealistic illusions of a social democratic USSR. However, he surrounded himself with liberals that knew what they were doing, grifters and those that were in it hoping to become the new Bourgeoise.
You just need someone foolish enough to do just that, and maybe even Trump 2 is gonna be enough for that - assuming he is allowed to get into power and win.
