--- Quote from: SeventhSandwich on January 23, 2017, 04:29:21 PM ---Be careful what you wish for. At least with the issues divided at a close 50/50 split, it's not really possible for one political faction to completely domineer over the other. The power struggle prevents tyrannical rule. I think that 9/11 was an example of what you're talking about, where a sudden event galvanized support for invading Iraq. But in hindsight we know that was a mistake. --- End quote --- Well ideally it would be a positive event but you can't always get what you want. Or what you need. |

Or what you need. --- End quote --- I think the idea Seventh is going for is that an event like that would be very likely to influence the masses towards making what will be looked at in hindsight as a poor judgement, much like the invasion of Iraq. An event that can get everyone unequivocally behind an ideal always has the chance of being a double-edged sword in the long run. |
