Cow Politics

Now that Donald Trump, a orange-white, bleach-blonde Orangutan remake of Narendra Modi’s political policies, and theories is the Republican Presidential candidate most likely to take down the GOP, let us take a look at different political systems, real and imaginary, through the old-yet-relevant Two Cow Politics.

Before we go into specifics, let us understand the difference between a print media or a blog or a TV holding true to a particular political philosophy (liberal, conservative, left, right, etc.) versus becoming a wholesale propaganda for a partic...
