“We are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state — we are a moral state. We want to lower taxes and let people be able to live and work and go to the faith they choose. …
Man, half of America really doesn’t care what the rest of the world thinks of them anymore, do they? Because this right here? This kinda looks like some ISIS shit.
It’s not even half. Every time people are surveyed for whether or not they support conservative policies, political stances, etc the highest it tends to get is ~30% of the population are in support. The more extreme the position the smaller the support.
Seems like we need to ban political parties, put bags on the heads of every politician to disguise them, and rotate in a random citizen chosen from each district for every single vote. Better luck by random choice than a 50/50 coin toss at best and Gerrymandered hell scape at worst.
But that would require the peabrains to actually spend time reading about policies, and might even encourage… different perspectives!! Can’t have that now!
Much more convenient for them to just soak up whatever bullshit Fox News pumps into their brains and just blindly vote for the Rs. Then they can quickly get back to… Soaking up more shit from Fox News.
In general, why should I care about what the rest of the world thinks of my country? Why would I care what another individual thinks of me personally? I’m always baffled when someone cares so much what other people think of them.
You don’t really understand how soft diplomacy works do you? There are distinct advantages to economic conditions if countries shake hands. If you slap somebody they will find ways to slap you back.
I dunno, it just seems hypocritical in this particular instance for your country to have been all up in arms about ISIS only to turn around and do shit that they would applaud. Makes you look… untrustworthy, to the world at large.

Yes, but that is if you ask them about the issues. Try asking them about their team… I mean political party

Or we could have ranked choice voting so “3rd party candidates” can have a chance and not be seen as “wasted votes that let the wrong lizard win”.

I would guess 8/10 Americans never think about what the world thinks of them.
