And the scalings are completely nonsensical. A strategy that is literally impossible to lose with is implementing every policy that increases patriot membership. Before the first election, you can make 100% of the population permanently patriots. With that, a handful of pro-patriot policies will guarantee every election's success. From there, you can implement whatever policies you want with almost zero backlash. I'm sure someone will tout this as "realistic", but that's hyperbole at best.
