Up until the Soviet Union fell apart, I remember the Left’s excuse for the failures of communism since 1917 was a shortage of the right people. Just get the best economists, scientists, engineers, etc, in charge and all would be right.

I hear the same argument today from conservatives.

The fact is, we can elect conservatives into eternity and it won't stop our slide into hard tyranny.

Back when Dems actually stood for freedom:

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” John F. Kennedy

He said it first, but it’s well worth repeating for obvious reasons

yeah, let’s just keep electing moderates it working so well.
