      The one upside is that most of these maniacs are wildly incompetent, and most of their actions tend to be more performative than effective, as being effective takes both competence and effort.

      @@Maswartz226 Truth! It's almost as if the writers of the Constitution purposely omitted prescriptive language with the idea that inevitable further interpretation of its intent would be based on objective rationality and a general sense of right and wrong. Sadly, Trump is not the first President to come along who doesn't seem to be constrained by any of those concepts.

      As democracies have enlarged the voter franchise, the wealthiest have come to understand and fear that a fully enfranchised citizenry will use their political power to democratize the economy. In a democratized economy, everyone would gain in wealth, but the wealthiest's share of the whole would be decreased, and along with it, their political power. Therefore, the politics of division piting one segment of the electorate against another to keep them in disunity and from focusing on the economic inequality and the political inequality it helps maintains.

      Also not so fun fact, the 2nd amendment right before the everyone has the right to bare arms part, it says for the defense of our nation we need a WELL REGULATED militia. Last I checked a random person with like 10 guns isn't a well regulated militia. There's a good argument that any lack of gun control is unconstitutional.

    • @qilinger4685
      @qilinger4685 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +93

      To Americans both ammendments are slightly different. The first 10 are percieved to be intended by their idolized founding fathers, so they believe THOSE are sacred. The rest were added afterward by different people, so the ammendments afterward could be disputed.
      In my opinion though this viewpoint is faulty since hundreds, if not thousands of people were involved in the drafting of the first ten ammendments. It's not like George Washington and friends came down from heaven and went "we will do these".

      Shes cool, but when she said governments cant go after companies because it's private, she forgets to mention that Facebook, twitter, and other social media sites have taken federal funding, have special federal contacts. Saying the government shouldn't do that when they did just exactly that by having every social media company follow their "guidelines" on what speech should and shouldn't be hosted, makes her entire complaint seem super hypocritical.
      The fact is that these social media companies not only take federal funding indirectly, they also benefit from private companies who also take federal funding, like the telecoms, given how much bandwidth they truly need.
      What this results in is a government company pretending to be a private one so the government can use it to censor your speech while getting around the 1st amendment.
      Go figure that when freedom of speech is allowed to flourish, people founded another platform that naturally holds the values it wants, instead of making the federal government do it for them.

    • @Robbie-mw5uu

      they arent cutting healthcare, they are getting rid of state requirements for healthcare and government-funded healthcare. By doing this, insurance companies have to pay competitive pricing instead of inflated prices for the sake of profits. Americans paying for insurance out of pocket will pay less money as insurance companies no longer have to artificially upcharge to meet fiscal projections. This would make the USA on par with healthcare affordability in Mexico, Europe, and South America. It would also prevent the abuse of taxpayer money towards cosmetric treatments for rainbow cultists.

Most of them have been replaced by yes-men, the courts, especially the supreme court, has been stacked in his favour and have made some incredibly insane rulings, and the republican party, which has been morphed into the Trump party, has the majority in both the house and the senate.

    As a Brit, it’s fascinating how this highlights the structural differences in our governance - a British prime minister does have the power to unilaterally create departments, and effective control of the purse via their Chancellor of the Exchequer. They can also appoint the minister in charge unilaterally, they can’t pick anyone: they have to pick members of Parliament (although this can be effectively circumvented by arranging their appointment to the House of Lords).

      It’s a pretty straightforward system really: God picks the monarch, the monarch picks the prime minister and there is a gentlemen’s understanding between the monarch and the people that person they choose is the one supported by the people’s’ elected representatives (The members of the House of Commons). Much more straightforward than this electoral college, written constitution and coequal branches silliness.

      The underrated thing about the Monarchy, is that the Prime Minister basically gets called into their office and grilled every week about what they've been doing. It doesn't stop them, but there's at least that humbling they have to go through if they aren't being sensible
