Col. Boozy Badger: Really neat that our democracy worked to prevent dictators up until we came into contact with one.

I see all these posts being mad that Rs on the Supreme Court imbued the R ex-President with the divine right of kings But no one talks about how *courteous* John Roberts is: we all now get to experience living under a god-emperor, and didn't even have to relocate for the privilege Courteous af

Really neat that our democracy worked to prevent dictators up until we came into contact with one.

Well, we did manage to avoid Huey Long, right around the time when dictators were very fashionable in industrialized/industrializing countries

To be fair we didn’t avoid him so much as he didn’t avoid a few bullets.

Whatever it takes. Maybe someone had a single-use time machine and had a choice among Hitler, Stalin, and Long. That they chose Huey shows just how awful he was in the timeline we didn't experience. I will not be entertaining criticism of my reasoning.

Just keep your fireworks factory safe by never hiring any smokers. No further safety measures needed.
