0·3 months agoI don’t quite agree with your assessment. There are not a whole lot of mechanisms in the constitution for “the people” do more than vote every couple of years or violently opposed the elected government. Look at fetterman and sinema. Both turn from what seemed to be progressive candidates to the main reason several legislative things fell through. I’m sure several people wish they could do something more immediate than wait until their term is up.

0·3 months agoIt doesn’t work when you don’t have a defined mechanism to enforce the balance after the check. These historical documents were written when your word meant something. Like they said above it works when people are doing things in good faith.

0·6 months agoWords have lost all meaning. Brutal to point out character flaws that everyone already knows about and epic that they talk it about openly. SLAMMED!

0·6 months agoBut that just tells me he’s not the first, only, or likely last person to solicit something he isn’t qualified for from this committee. Not exactly epic if they are just stating the obvious out loud.

0·6 months ago“epic snub” seems a little exaggerated for something that fat orange fascist was never qualified for in the first place.

0·6 months agoWell, anything digital comes to mind. Cutting undersea communication cables is another. But you can generally look in the direction of Russia for most of it. In the US they have corrupted an entire political party with out drawing any “front lines”

I’ll edit to add this article about someone in the Whitehouse thinking we’re in a civil war

politics @lemmy.world•Young, white females in a position to oppose MAGAEnglish
0·7 months agoI live in central Florida and I’ve been out protesting quite a bit, a couple political events for democratic candidates, and volunteer for poll duty during elections. One of the least represented demographic in all of these places is young women. There are plenty of retiree women. I’ve even been to a couple women’s rights group meetings and there were more men there than women under 40.
I understand it’s going to take all of us to make any meaningful changes, but I am constantly surprised that one of the most impacted groups doesn’t seem to be too concerned to participate in the civil unrest part. Even the women I talk to in other social settings don’t seem too concerned or feel the need to do anything to halt the real life Handmaid’s Tale we’re about to find ourselves in.

0·10 months agoThis isn’t even conservatism. It’s regressive. They aren’t conserving anything, just trying to take everyone back to robber barons and Nazis.
If he had bothered to read his passport it says plainly that you are subject to all local laws, and that their penalties are probably worse, but the US doesn’t care.
