I can't believe people seriously still believed that after the 2000-era party line split that made Bush President.

Sometimes I wonder if a Gore presidency is one of those alternate universe timelines like where the library of Alexandria survived and we all have zero emission self driving star ships.

With a Trump 7-2 court, we're going to see things like one polling station in all of Philadelphia, literacy tests, and poll taxes because the legislation won't say lol don't let black people vote explicitly. Roe V Wade and Obergfell will probably be gone too. Sure Gay marriage polls well, but when has it mattered to republicans when they're "right" see AHCA polling at 17%.

you'r enot thinking big scale enough. they nearly have enough power to write all of that into the constitution

I'm morbidly curious what a hard-R lean on the Supreme Court is going to do to America. Gay marriage and abortion being reversed are sort of inconceivable, even if abortion's been subject to severe restriction in red states and gay marriage is recent with a lot of resistance. Basically everything since the civil rights act (which is probably safe) could be dead by the end of Trump.

lol literally none of those are safe because a 7-2 Trump court can straight up set the constitution on fire

and out comes the "voting is bad" post, b/c of course

Voting is good! I qualify for top 15% and live in a coastal city so vote and vote all the time. Please vote team D! Because I want the money to remain in cities and I want immigration to drive down the prices of goods and services that flyover makes.

I'm not joking about that.

We'd still have gone to war with Iraq, the housing bubble would have still popped, cities would have still looted the rest of the nation for every cent. It just would have been better managed.

Our choices are kinda between "bat poo poo crazy" and "competent" but they are both still predators.

This is not how it works! Abortion isn't going away, the civil rights act is not being reversed, gay marriage is a thing and in 20 years we'll be the old bigots arguing you can't marry your sexbot.

Yes, Trump and the court can do a lot of damage. But we aren't going back to the 1500s, till we get our time machine.

I began reading All the President's Men. A few thoughts after getting about 1/6ths through the book so far:

1. Lol imagine what governments got away with before journalism became a serious thing

2. It's kinda weird reading about an era where World War 2 was not only within living memory, but all the middle-aged people were war heroes instead of decrepit veterans

3. There is absolutely an INSANE amount of poo poo on Trump's administration and campaign that's yet to be reported because they're still verifying stuff and digging up more information. Like huge huge piles of it
