Unfortunately there are many cases that politicians go from bad to worse and the electorate doesn’t do anything about it. See the case of once prosperous countries like Argentina that have been going downwards for decades. Did you know that in the early 20th century Argentina was the 7th richest country in the World and now is 25th? And do you know what did it? “progressive thinking”, unions, populists, the idea that judges nneeded to be “empathetic” with whomever the favored group of people seemed to be at the time, etc. The left likes to portay the military juntas as right wing and pin the decadence on them. But it is not true. They were right wing in the sense that they fought a leftist insurgency. But on everything else they were populist.
