I don't know how to get through to you. i will say a lot of us are learning about legal concepts in the meantime. Normally i don't advocate feeding the trolls but this is great stuff. I'm personally learning from you thanks! DITTO.. Here here! Maddy, I really appreciate all this info - it makes it ...

this all seems like a good argument for federalism, ..say... a federal government that operated like a light weight exoskeleton that allowed the states to operate as a unit but were all self governing within it... not that limited government is a good idea >:D +1, I was thinking same. Why not devol...

Are these features of the new republican populism...as they are with other forms of populism? division of society into two camps, “the people” and “the elites” a proud antagonism toward intellectuals the rejection of culture and knowledge in favor of instinct the promotion of polarizing views demon...

I give lectures on topics that are infinitely more complicated than what you're saying, and I need to be succinct because I am working within a time limit. Life is like that. We can't read walls of text so if you write them you won't get a response, that's all.

@ Ad Orientum Before you get vaccinated, at least get an antibody test. I had my annual physical last month and they just drew an extra vial of blood. The government pays the tab, no insurance required. Sadly (assuming the results are even reliable), mine came back negative. Yes, I was going to sug...

Sorry I really just can't read those walls of text. Can you be more succinct?

As far as needing a balance, that sounds as ridiculous as smoking one cigarette each morning with a multivitamin so you can balance the healthy with the unhealthy since too much healthy will make you less healthy. Well considering that once again nobody has yet refuted the problems I identified in ...

Unskilled jobs are not a problem. The more that immigrate here, the more we need unskilled labor. And someone needs to do these jobs, Americans currently don't want to. Most Americans currently don't want to do those jobs because they pay peanuts, and they pay peanuts because there are so many unsk...

I'd like Biden's name removed from the conversation as well. He isn't reviled as Trump is (as tomfoolery says), but that's fair enough. Agreed, let's keep this discussion at the party level. There's way more interesting stuff to hash out than any one person, no matter how important they may seem ri...

And another question...is New Republicanism just another type of soft authoritarianism? What is more oppressive? A society where the government regulates everything or where societal pressure tells you that you have to stay at home and have babies, and can't come out of the closet and dress like a ...

Tortoise, I've posted essentially that same thing many times, but it all falls on deaf ears. I think we should add another defining characteristic to advanced TDS (stage 3 or 4): the complete inability to notice when a Trump supporter provides a reasoned basis for their choice that clearly indicates...
