I don't want to give advice to the Left, but there is a lesson for patriots here.
I can think of only two ways: You mount a massive public campaign with all kinds of big names to fucking shame politicians into it, or you take the time to vote the right people in.Okay, great ideas.
Let's talk implementation.
(I'm an engineer, I'm all about landing the plane).
The last two bullet points, will definitely require Constitutional amendments.
How do you propose to get that done?
Again. That is some made up anecdote. There are 300+ million Americans and almost all of them who can work are working. Welfare is near zero. Unemployment is historical low. The working poor are a large portion of this country. Look at the data not your imagination that everyone who is poor is a grifter. Shit, most grifters are rich.There is no more free money. You would have to kill the military to make a dent in your so-called poor. Already awarded trillions....so many do nothing but sit home and breed with different men. No marriage, no family....just use the system. With TV, tattoo, booze, drugs, free food, sect8, yet thats not good enough? Indians dont have 1/100 of that.
If you kill the military who will stop Evil pirates coming to take what they want?
Intellectually reconcile? Gee, half of Americans barely know who the president is, let alone their function in government. Near half have their mouths firmly attached to government teat with no understanding of what that really means for their lives. That said, you aren't willing to work a job or take responsibility for your life, then those of us doing that get to tell you how things are going to be.I'll just keep asking:
To the two ends:
How do you intellectually reconcile the fact that half the country disagrees with you, as you push so hard to shove your agenda down their throat?
Is it that you just know what's best for them?
What is your inner justification for that?
Right wingers hide behind God and country. Everything they spew is culture driven drivel of imagery and buzzwords that lacks substance.Actually, a lot of people on the Right would not disagree with you, at the level of abstraction with which you have presented your beliefs.
Inequality? Precarious income? You're talking our (rightwing 'populists') talk. A safety net for the 'unfortunate'? Sure, so long as you mean people willing and able to work, as oppose to parasites.
It's true that there is a strain of thought on the Right that is for the pure,untrammelled free market: no Social Security, no tariffs -- pure free trade. If the Chinese want to buy up the Midwest, fine. Some of them even want to auction off the National Parks.
But they're a tiny minority. A much larger group on the Right pretends to believe in the Free Market -- but ask them if that means they want to end Social Security or Medicare. Are you kidding? This group is intellectually -- sorry to say this -- a bit lazy. An ideology makes everything so simple. It's like trying to become an aeronautical engineer and wanting only to learn Newton's Laws, and avoiding the Navier-Stokes equations, and all the pragmatic things that aeronautical engineers need to know. It's not that Newton's Laws are wrong (as approximations, leaving aside relativistic effects not descernible at the speeds planes fly at ) -- they're just not enough.
The issues agitating the base of the Right today are not the classic liberal-vs-conservative questions, like minimum wage. Or rather, these may be issues, but they're no longer central.
It's whether our country is basically good, one of opportunity to everyone, with an honorable, though humanly-flawed past, one we should honor and celebrate. One whose privileged elites may have captured it, but which can be rescued from them and put back on course.
Or is it one founded and continued in racist oppression, sexist, xyx-phobic, a cruel prisonhouse for those of its population who are not male and white.
You can be on the Left, and share the first outlook with us, but you're being increasingly isolated by the 'woke' political virus that is multiplying rapidly within the body of the Left.
Anyway, serious people should by no means believe everything they hear on Fox, or Breitbart, or the Epoch Times, etc. etc. But neither should they trust the mainstream media.
Yes that was part of the problem, What do you think were the other problems?
Term limits are probably tougher than anything else. This sure as hell isn't going to happen soon, but if we do don't try, we're just giving up. And I'm not interested in giving up.
I can't care. It's still force, not a "choice". Majority rule doesn't change that fact.Uh, if I'm being sentenced, it was because I broke a law that the vast majority of my fellow citizens thought was a good idea.

How have I not in this thread? I was simply trying to follow your OP, and see what we could agree on, and you stopped discussion…I’m not here for rancor Mac….If he can behave like an honest adult, I'll consider it. Please try to learn something.

It’s this way because there are a large number of reprehensible bigots in this country bent on having it all their way or there will be hell to pay.As I say all the time: It's not the goal that is the problem. It's the way we go about achieving it. This is a large, complex country, and forcing things and slapping on band aids can go sideways pretty quickly. As we've seen.
The way this has been done has brought us Trumpism, which is clearly not just a blip in time, especially with the makeup of the Supreme Court.
And now, this orange stain is just upping the ante. Back and forth, back and forth. I just don't understand why it has to be this way.
And when the majority decides otherwise?I'm glad the majority has decided on sensible rules we can all live by.

Nothing new for America. That shit has been the dynamic all along. As usual, those bigots have to be dragged into the future kicking and screaming all the way.
^^ and there we have it, Mac thinks mutilating minors for the lie of “transgenderism” isn’t evil.I'll let you folks spray the word "evil" around like water.
no actual argument as always. Beat up some kittens
