I get what they are saying, South Africa famously disappeared from existence after the apartheid state ended.
Consumers of luxury goods can be made fun of.
Funniest outcome is a 269-269 electoral tie where the house and senate can’t get majorities and we end up with some form of compromised unity ticket between the ruling class. After both parties telling their bases the other party is trying to kill them, and everyone yelling at me how we need to vote for one of the 2 octogenarians to save the country
After 16 years of battling right wing populism the coastal elites thought a unity ticket would save their status. They put John Tyler on The William Henry Harrison ticket and were rewarded with the annexation of pro slavery Texas and giving the slave states the final upper hand until the civil war.
After 4 years of Civil war the northern elites felt a unity ticket would save the Union war efforts. They put Andrew Johnson on the ticket, who quickly re established the planter hierarchy in the south.
I’d argue Truman was a unity ticket, and I’d argue the Cold War was bad for America, but I don’t think a moderate democrat would agree.
regardless, these centrist types constantly amaze me in their unyielding love for a country they know nothing about.

I’ve genuinely seen 0 improvement in video games from the PS3 to the PS5. Just a waste of 2 generations of systems because you dumb ass gamers eat this shit up.
All they did was made you pay for online services to play digital downloads and the gamers licked the bathroom floor with glee.
They aren’t even making sequels, it’s just the game I played on PS3 with better graphics.
I wonder if Will and Felix are ever jealous that the CIA didn’t give them the Havana Syndrome also?
From 1948 onward, the American right has attributed all politics that don’t go their way as communist. In their circles the New Deal, Desegregation, environmental regulation have been only seen as evil and communist. Propaganda points being preached for 75 years has an effect on people.
After 75 years of slave state rule, plantation owners seriously believed that slavery was good, and that slaves would work the land out of joy, and that Europe cared so much about a single cash crop that no one could challenge their slave empire if the seceded. They seriously believed secession was smarter than just continually utilizing the constitution that was written in their favor.
When people are talking crazy for their entire lifetime we ought to believe em.
Why the heck did you colonize the globe and bring in labor and workers from foreign countries for 500 straight years than?!?
