France had been ruled by kings, and before that, the Roman Empire for thousands of years, and then one day we had a revolution and became freedom-loving leftists. Same can happen in Russia -indeed, same DID happen in Russia, until the USSR turned into a totalitarian state under Stalin.
Also, the US can totally have a multi-party system if they reform their electoral system. [0]

- achenet 4y agoOnce again, don't underestimate the American people. If they get mad enough, they'll storm the capital and demand electoral reform at gunpoint. The French kings weren't keen on democracy, and the Russian Czars weren't keen on communism. Yet they still happened.
