If it went this far, the US would no longer be recognizable. Not to say it can’t happen, and the US is fast marching in that direction, but this would be a dramatic shift in the entire underlying fabric of the country.
- slfnflctd 11mo agoSome would argue that the US is already unrecognizable in many ways, and that there are clear indications this trend will continue.
- LadyCailin 11mo agoFor sure. And the US looked very different under McCarthyism too, so there’s even precedent. But my point is that there are other prerequisites that have to happen first.
- lucianbr 11mo agoWhy is that important? Sounds like saying "well before winter comes, autumn must come first". Yeah duh, so what? Winter is still coming, if anyone cares about it.
- LadyCailin 11mo agoBecause if you overreact to an issue, then that can and will be used to dismiss your arguments entirely, and the general public can more easily be swayed against you.
- lucianbr 11mo agoNon sequitur. Pointing out an intermediate step changes nothing about how bad or good the issue is or how appropriate or inappropriate the reaction is.
- deaux 11mo agoLike the dramatic shift that has taken place over the last 12 months, you mean?
