So a slow decline is OK?

Nah, life would be better if a cleptocrat couldn’t find his way into power.

It was slow for 30 years, the last couple of years have been insane.

I'd say that either way the population will not rebel. If the government is smart they'll just pay for the populations Netflix, burgers and beer. It's enough to keep people passive.

Weed is the ultimate double edged sword- it pacifies much better than beer, but also the GDP and standard of living plummets.
