      10/10 citizens EVERYWHERE must be worried about political future. Well, maybe not worried, but certainly concerned. This is the obligation of a citizen: do fucking care about your country, you live in it! Stop caring and you get Trump. Or Putin. Or any dictator that got to power ever because citizens did not care enough.
