Then maybe Trump should go run Russia…
Like, WTF business Russia got in USA politics?
I don’t understand a great deal about state’s rights or the US constitution but from the other side of the globe this Russian seems to be making a lot of sense.
Seems USA is nowhere near healing the division already seeded by Trump.
I don’t think they’re close enough to having the conviction for a civil war but the values of states like Texas and Florida seem largely unrepresented in Washington to the point that with the right kind of insanity at the helm I could see them secede or at least try to.
That massive wave of migration to Texas really does seem like a rejection of the entire direction of the country.
Where are you from?
Australia. I don’t have a TV so most of my exposure to US politics is from various internet sources and podcasts.
I could be wildly wrong but it does seem there’s growing sentiment that your major political factions just don’t share enough common ground to work together any longer.
Well, one of the two parties available is bent over in respecting corporate interests while eroding societal safety nets, the other is doing the same but with an accent on religious authoritarianism in service of an orange Cheeto.
There would be more than enough space for them to cooperate on common ground but, unfortunately for the oligarchs, the latter party seems to have lost the script of the standard political play and is now giving it’s leading roles to real nutsacks who are (unwillingly) exposing the inner workings of the political machine for everyone to see. As I see the situation from Italy this can only be a good thing as seeing the innards of a broken machine is the first step to start its necessary maintenance
