we’d intervene
That’s the problem, we won’t. There is too much now that needs to be done, and your neighbors don’t care. Try telling your neighbor not to use a dirty 2-stroke gas lawnmower, or weed killer on a residential law, they’ll hate you, won’t understand what you’re talking about, and think that you are stupid. Everything then becomes a state intervention with police, courts, laws, jails.
They were slave owners, who fought a violent war against a democratic country. They could have asked for representation in parliament, but they decided to go to war. Why, because England, was about to clean up the colonies and eliminate slavery. With peace between England and France in the 1760s, England’s attention was once again on domestic issues, and people in England were getting sick of slavery in the colonies. The rich slave owners, most educated in law, knew slavery was about to end when the ruling of Somerset v Stewart (1772) was handed down.
I think it’s also important to compare America to other Western countries, and see what other paths it might have chosen.
America voted for Trump, because America is a racist country.
It’s not the Dem’s fault, it’s the fault of the racists.
Lot’s of rich right-wing shits right now funding these propaganda news articles, to muddy the waters about how everyone hates Trump.

Without good postal service, many rural areas are going to be finished off. No more Amazon deliveries. No cheap farm equipment deliveries of small parts and consumables.
If the USA wants to bring back manufacturing it would need 200-250 million new immigrants. Every screw, shirt button, bra hook, shoelace, yarn factory needs hundred of workers to staff the production line.
Spirits should be hyper local. Don’t need to transport wine from France across the Atlantic by very polluting ships, then to truck across an entire continent. To sell in California.
Homogeneity of spirits is boring. Should be very regional, should only be available in that region.
Also, don’t think that you can become fascist to escape this. You don’t have the stomach for it. Sooner or latter Trump and his brown shirt goons will beat the shit out of you, as they demand you perform even more perverted and immoral acts.
What the hell is a bank going to do with Yosemite National Park?
illegal boycott? I’m sure they’re creaming their pants, imagining ways of forcing people to buy these cars.
Fuck cars! Demand public transit.
Also, fuck cars. Every major street should have dedicated light rail in its own right of way, being given signal priority. The people that bought Tesla’s early on as status symbols, did so because they spit on the concept of public transit and hate the left that wants mass transportation.
Its not even that. People like McMahon don’t even know what are good jobs, they live in some imaginary world, some historic America that never existed. They are turning the American economy around, towards some bizarre imaginary mirage.
People who have never studies math, promoting math.
People who have never worked a blue collar job, promoting blue collar jobs.
People who don’t read, shaping literacy programs.
People who send their kids to small private schools, dictating public school policy.
Once a slum lord, always a slum lord. He bankrupt a casino, he is not smart. He doesn’t understand the difference between a million and a billion; most successful building developers are working in 10 decimal places, Donald isn’t even close to that level.
They can’t. Middle class oil workers, workers in the gasoline auto-sector will not vote for Democrats. The same goes for many who are contractors; plumbers, electricians, HVAC.
Those working for Amazon might be able to unionize, same with Walmart. Hopefully they can get better pay, and hours. But they are not fighting the same fight as climate activists.
Trump might break teacher unions soon with school vouchers.
Democrats need to start with hyper-local issues, and organize around those.
No they won’t, they’ll double down on bashing gays, women, immigrants for causing any economic downturn.
Trump will come up with something dumber tomorrow, it’ll be impossible to keep pleasing him and stay sane. Sooner or latter everyone around Trump falls.
Thanks for the moral courage, too many in power are going along with Trump. It’s not easy to quit.
We’re fucked.
