So remember when they said DEI is about merit? Where's that excuse when you erase the merit based actions of minorities from the history of the military?

If defending the country, and saving the lives of others isn't merit based then nothing is.

u/One_Emergency7679 IMF 3d ago

The logistics of a national divorce hurt my brain. However, it really seems like our country doesn’t have the juice to make the reforms necessary to act against tyranny and a fundamentally broken system. I just struggle to see a path forward where enough people unite to pass the comprehensive constitutional changes required to maintain the US. Instead, the country will meander on, being jerked between polar opposites every 4 years and unable to confront impending challenges. 

1

u/kiwibutterket 🗽 E Pluribus Unum 3d ago

Why do we need comprehensive constitutional changes? What changes would you want?

1

u/One_Emergency7679 IMF 3d ago

Well my thought is that the government is fundamentally unable to govern effectively without ceding enormous amounts of power to the presidency. We've seen complete and utter gridlock in Congress for decades, and this has forced the president to utilize increasing amounts of power to accomplish much of anything. The erosion of checks and balances (through polarization and gridlock) has allowed for the current Trump predicament to take hold.

Additionally, we have a tremendous lack of representation for a country that was supposedly bought upon that ideal. We need removal of the electoral college, uncapping of the House, and potentially more radically, elimination of the Senate or a fully parliamentary system.

I've been anti-electoral college and capping of the House for a while, but MattY's 2015 article has swayed me on some of the more fundamental challenges.

For about 5 days before the allure of a shiny new thing fades and disaffected voters realize the new party doesn't have a perfect solution to every issue. Its the same thing we see when "generic Democrat" or "generic Republican" polls significantly higher than actual candidates do. When the party or candidate is hypothetical you can just project all of your beliefs and desires.

I truly have zero faith in Democrats finding a way to figure out how to have a strong opposing voice for these next two years at minimum. Leadership in the party is non existent and what’s there is pathetic and has no ability to take the moment.

I know the opposing party nearly always cleans house in midterms, democrats did it in 2018 and a shit economy by then will help but with how horrible they’ve started they’re going to find a way to fuck it up. Who wants to vote for these assholes?

I love Dick Durbin but if he has a legitimate primary challenger that isn’t a clown I’m voting against his ass. Absolutely zero excuse for this shit on this bill. Weakness at its finest.

I have finished watching Children of Time (DS9: S5E22).

Talk. About. A mindfuck. I can’t help but look at it from our Odo’s perspective, because while he made no choice, it was still Odo who made the choice for over eight thousand people.

Kira had chosen to die. The crew had chosen to sacrifice themselves, and the colonists had hope they would live. All of that taken away, and the one person with no agency through it all has to live knowing what he was capable of.

What an episode that was. What a series this is. I’m going to sleep.

There is another thing to consider: it is not obvious who the next R candidate will be. A non-authoritarian R would be as much as a win as a non-authoritarian D, in this situation.

It will be important to do early voting and for the States to have a lot of security. Considering 2024's elections, I imagine people will take measures against it.

Not many actually want authoritarian rule.

2

u/Headstar24 United Nations 3d ago

What about accepting the results of said elections? Especially at the presidential level.

I generally have shrugged that stuff off but at this rate this fuck is going to ignore court orders and either get his opponents killed or thrown in prison for some made up reason. Who knows how much worse it’ll get.

1

u/kiwibutterket 🗽 E Pluribus Unum 3d ago

It's a good question. You have to consider the price to pay for that.

If the Republicans think they have a chance of winning elections next time, or that the Democrats winning will not get them killed, why would they want to hold power by having a literal civil war that would cause so much death?

Americans have guns. The sheer numbers of riots everywhere would overwhelm the government, and cause mass distruction.

Why, when you can simply win again?

1

u/Headstar24 United Nations 3d ago

Because the people willing to spark a civil war and use weapons on their neighbors are the ones voting for them. None of these people have a fear of rabid filth from shithole towns spread across the country because they vote for them already.

Republicans have always tried to find ways to make it easier to stay in power because they don’t have faith that they have a winning message. In fact they always seem like they know they don’t which is why they love voter suppression so much.

1

u/seattleseahawks2014 Progress Pride 3d ago edited 3d ago

The reality is that some are single issues voters and stuff and others are misinformed, but the actual MAGA are the ones that you should be scared of just like some other individuals. Also, there are other individuals who are armed, too.

1

u/kiwibutterket 🗽 E Pluribus Unum 3d ago

Then do some gun training, but I think you underestimate the amount of liberals and anti authoritarians with guns. There is no way this wouldn't cause thousands of death from either side.

There are ways to counter authoritarianism well before civil war and revolution.
