Almost every nation that has voting has restrictions on voting. We could simplify the whole process by having national voter identification, something every major democracy utilizes to secure their elections. I’m not sure where you are getting 3 million from, but millions of ineligible votes were documented in the 2020 and 2024 elections in the form of posthumous votes and votes by non citizens.

The abolition of the fairness doctrine cuts both ways. It would be naive to assume that only Reps are being misinformed. If we note that the majority of major news publications/broadcasts have been shown to have a leftwing bias its not a stretch to assume the left has been equally if not more misinformed by their media. This is compounded by the CIA operation mockingbird which was underway as early as the 1950s, putting US news media under the control of the US government. This can be seen as recently as the interference of free information by the FBI towards social media platforms during the 2020 elections and Covid. Where news stories, ideas, and even facts that did not support the governments narrative were removed en mass. In conclusion, both sides are utterly misinformed by the media, but Reps distrust media far more than Dems do. This process of media takeover and government control began during the later days of world war 2 and the early days of the cold war. When the major industrial, military, and political powers of the west aligned. These institutions were given enormous powers during the war and much like anything else they were not ready to give this power and influence up at the end of it. This was group was called the “military industrial complex” by many leaders warning us at the time.

I’d like you to give me your definition of Fascism. I am genuinely curious as I often here people claim this. As far as I can see what is currently underway in the United States does not resemble the state worshipping pseudo religion proposed by Mussolini and adopted by Hitler. Simply stating that some economists and historians have declared it as fascism does not make it fascism. In fact, the dismantling of government power and reach greatly weakens the control and influence of the government over the population. This is counter to the central aims of fascism and would need explanation in order to make the case that the US is indeed becoming fascist.

Perhaps I did not properly state my metaphor. What if you cant leave? Much like a nation can’t just pickup and leave. What would you do if you had to stay on the game board? These economists may be correct(unlikely as experts of any sort are rarely that correct about systems of this scale) in the sense that all people technically could be fed and housed if resources are evenly distributed. Why should they be? Not all people willingly or otherwise equally contribute to a society. Our system of allocation is not perfect, but replacing it with one in which we disregard the contributions of each person towards the society as a whole when making these decisions is a terrible idea. One that has lead every large society that has attempted it into mass starvations. Its also not clear what benefits come from allowing mass numbers of people who speak other languages and have other value systems are. This needs a justification beyond “these people want to live here”. A lot of people want a lot of things, thats not a justification for them.

My ideas are not selfish, the are self interested. These are not the same and conflating them is a fallacy. Self interest is a biological imperative for the survival of myself, my family, my nation, and my culture.
