That's actually true worldwide. Wanna see how an economy looks like after over 30 years of almost uninterrupted conservative leadership? Look at where Germany stands now.

1933 if you're refering to Hitler. He was already six years in power in 1939.

Oh yeah, that's way worse! But it doesn't make me very optimistic about Germany's future either, even without the Trump tragedy.
