If South Africa has been a corrupt shithole for 10 years, it doesn't somehow magically become not-a-shithole because the president changes.

The potential for it to become not-a-shithole is there. It is not somehow magically fixed because one person is changed.

I can't fucking believe I have to explain this shit, Jesus christ you people are the reason no one understands why Biden isn't responsible for inflation.

And i can't fucking believe that you know how a government works.

If you swap the people responsible for things with other people responsible for things, these new people will act differently

Is that that hard to understand?!

Btw, Biden and Inflation can't be compared here, since inflation is a complex problem that is largely out of the hands of politicians. Just look at china. It has absolute political power, fighting Inflation is a priority target, yet they still can't do it. Why? Because inflation is a Economic Problem, not a Political one. To quote you:

I can’t fucking believe I have to explain this shit

Ah yes, I forgot that an entire governments decisions are made by one man.

Incredible, truly, incredible.

Edit: weird how quickly you shut the fuck up once you realized how fucking dumb your argument was. Crazy.
