But the allies bungled the ensuing peace, so another world war erupted a measly 20 years later.

Democrats went from contesting the whole country in elections to counting on holding the Northeast and West and what did they call it before it fell in 2016? Oh yeah, I remember. The “blue wall” in the “rust belt:” Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Read it all fellow bunglers.
