    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.
