What has shocked me is that basically the US 'checks and balances' ultimately relied on people 'doing the right thing', and could so easily be undermined.
Similarly, I have little faith that the Westminster system (UK, Australia etc) could survive a bad actor. Eg, just pop in a puppet Governor General in Australia, and away you go.
That’s happened before, on a few occasions. Whitlam was probably the most prominent.
I’d still back it as a better system because operated correctly (which is always dependent on the people elected and appointed as you highlight with a bad GG, which in turn is dependent on the voters) it’s got good checks and balances.
aiming for?, i think its a little late for that.
isn't this the exact reason for the second amendment ?what happened ?
Give it time. Things will continue to get worse until there's a revolution.
The second amendment is there because it was deemed much cheaper to rely on an armed populace than to finance an army. It has nothing to do with keeping the government in check whatsoever (as you can see currently).
Could’ve asked me this ten years ago
I’m honestly tired of this, they can’t be that stupid or slow to think
"Well, duh".
That's the view of anyone with a functioning brain (i.e., not MAGAts).
Kill 'em all. It's the only answer.
Midterms aren't happening, sorry.
You can disagree with me all you want but the writing is on the wall, the evidence is there.
What? All humans? Violence has never solved a problem properly.
especially with a recent bill of warrantless mass surveillance bieng passed with 42 dems supporting it.
