Explain the history of western Democracy in a hundred words or less, Sangamon. Great.
"We have elections. Everyone decides who they want for a ruler, and the person with the most votes wins. It's supposed to be fair." Sometimes, when money lined up against money and canceled each other out, leaving the issues up for actual discussion, it even was. "Cities and towns have mayors, states have Governors, and the United States has a President. Some countries still have Kings. And England has both."
"Reaganomics is crap cooked, frosted, and served as cake by our current President. A man with a head full of straw and no brains would be a vast improvement. Ol' Ronnie Reagan was a fucking actor before someone decided he'd play a good President." S.T. was almost snarling, but there wasn't any real anger behind it. You just couldn't be a good activist without ragging on the Gipper. But taking down the Groveler had been his political good-deed for the decade, and Reagan was on his way to an Alzheimer's ward and having to actually spend time with his batshit wife. He was done with politics for the year.
