It turns out that when he said he could shoot someone and not lose any voter he was actually right. He was quite astute and I, honestly, feel pretty naive. I was also very sure that this is going to be 'only' a 4 year calamity but I'm not anymore. It turns out his voters voted him with all the excuses prepared for his future failures. Who can compete against that? I used to doubt the utility of term limits. I thought, if someone's doing an excellent job why shouldn't we be able to elect him for more than 2 terms? It's because people are idiots. That rule is a permanent reminder that, despite some amazing achievements, the humankind consists, mostly, of idiots. We can be so stupid that we need to enforce some random limits to limit future collective brain farts, because we know we have the ability to really f*** up.
