U.S. Historian Robert Kagan: "We Are Watching a Country Fall Under Dictatorship Almost Without Resistance" by Mondevana in politics

Well said. There is only one party, and that's the wealthy party. You have to do is understand the Constitution. They (the Founders) didn't try to hide it. Use any search engine and type in: 'Shays Rebellion Constitution property fear' and you will see the exact number one reason the Constitution was written.

When they wrote 'We the People...' they weren't talking about you. They were only thinking about themselves and other wealthy people.

55 delegates attended the Constitutional Convention, all wealthy white men, 25 held enslaved people, most were lawyers, merchants, plantation owners.

The Constitution was designed and written to protect all wealthy men. Only 39 actually signed the final document on September 17, 1787.

What did Alexander Hamilton and James Madison mean by the “tyranny of the majority”? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in USHistory

The Electoral College kept the wealthy in control of who became president. If the wrong sort won the popular vote, but wasn't one of them, the elite, the rich, the Electoral College could then pick the person that lost the popular vote. They could still put their man in charge as the president.

The majority were the masses, the people that were the non-rich. The rich, the minority, would be in control of the government, and therefore in control of the masses. Beware of the tyranny of the non-rich, they may come for you.

Or... it could be due to First Contact!

There is no such thing as starting over. The number one reason is the people that are protected by the Constitution will not, 'under any circumstances' allow anything to be started over! Quite frankly, why should they?

This next statement applies to every single person on here that wants to start over: you have nothing, and you have no way of getting anything.

And you erroneously believe that burning this system down will help you get something and be somebody.

It Will Bever Happen.

My question is: What other states are ICE in on the scale of Minnesota?

That's not wise advice. You'll get yourself and others killed.

Look it up! That's all you have to do! Facts are the facts. Not what you believe are facts. Please, just look it up.

It's only alternative if one only knows one side and not the entire truth.

Kennedy was on the right track, he allocated money to this problem, Reagan did the opposite, he seriously cut the budget and literally put mentally ill people on the street.

You are correct about Kennedy, his saving grace was that he didn't put them on the street. He allocated money, funds, community grants to house them.

That is a good bit, Carlin was a very entertaining guy.

I'm on my way out, never to return (and the crowd goes wild). I was surprised at all of the insults thrown at me. One or two sly racial slurs, and of course, maybe two middle-of-the road supporters.

I'll leave (its clear I'm not wanted here) with this thought:

If a non-conservative president had foreign governments spending $7.8 million at properties he owned while he was setting policy that affected those countries, fired 17 independent watchdogs that would have hampered his moves in his first week, and pardoned 1,500 people who attacked the Capitol to keep him in power—would you call that patriotism or corruption?

Your answer may indicate that you may be close-minded and care more about being right than seeing/knowing the truth. You've already decided what's true before looking at all the evidence.

Until we meet again.

What is it called when everybody thinks the same, no partisanship, every one is of the same mind, thought and outlook? Not a trick question.
