stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

boy, it's not fun to think back to comparativist political science
This is when the Linz stuff comes to a head. Two competing branches of government with competing claims of legitimacy in open conflict.

Please for the love of whatever gods you believe in get your priorities in order because it is pathetic to lament the demise of American civic virtue and immediately have all of it leave your body when someone is rude to you

There are a lot of you who seem to be overly concerned about people being rude to you when the people in question are a bit miffed that we're upending the global order and currently threatening to invade their country using a playbook from 12 years ago that is still currently ongoing

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.
