It was in fact not that ridiculous a statement at all. But hey you guys seem to like getting fucked with a jackhammer so much you made a two party system and then somehow convinced your people that this was a democracy.

One side went full fascist, and the other side let it. Both sides are responsible for your nation and the absolute state that it is in. In a real democratic system neither of those two parties would ever see power again, but you chuckle fucks enshrined their existence in law.
