@georgetakei You are welcome. Keep inspiring.
@Pat @bonifartius nope, you loose all toots and some followers
@KeithC@toot.community @jaysonmassey
Yea thats not what anyone is saying... the right can be restricted by the wording ofnother parts of tbe constitution and from that some very broad restrictions apply.
What is being said is simple, fix the amendment dont make up unconstitutional laws. There is a process, use it.
Everything else you sais is rhetoric
@bonifartius There is something in the water ;)
@bonifartius How ya figure? Sounds like an account that migrated recently is all.
No not always or even usually. But when that is true its more often the bad guy than the good guy than would be the case if guns were illegal. But that aside, no, the threat of death can often prevent someone from even executing the crime, or abandon it midway through once they realize they are up against a gun.
@admitsWrongIfProven guns are killing things.. guns are also preventing things from being killed. The key is understanding the ratio
@admitsWrongIfProven Well sure, some sources might be flawed. But the pattern is so pervasive that there4 comes a point where you stop making excuses and accept that not all the data has excuses one can make for it. In reality we would have to do a more indepth analysis to really prove that, which i dont have time to do here.
@admitsWrongIfProven you will have to re-ask whatever i mistakenly ignored.
System of a Down has some good stuff sure.
@admitsWrongIfProven That wasnt in reference to you.. it was supposed to be a reply to a different thread
Does having shitty healthcare count? Technically killing off lots of people is smaller government :)

Overall, worse
He picked policies that would give short term gains and ultimately play in his favor int hat regard. But largely had devastating long-term effects that were "not his problem"... his tactic of abusing QE to try to keep the economy afloat is a good example of that. While Biden is doing **plenty** to destroy the economy on his own we are also seeing the fallout to some extent from Trumps QE as well.
Yes we would be a dictatorship ruling with the iron oppressive fist of moderacy.

Tax breaks for the wealthy, sure but he doesnt want to let rich people actually print money... so moderate
environmental regulations - Sure but he still allows there to be an environment, so moderate
rolling back net neutrality - Sure, but he hasnt built a firewall around the country yet... so moderate :)
xenophobia - Sure, but he only wants to kill the brown foreigners that are poor, the rich ones he wants to exploit but let live, so moderate :)
There is only one way to have a truely moderate/center society... Me alone on an island :)
He started his whole career with being pro-segregation... though at the time that wasnt so extreme as it sounds today. But yea he was way more right early on he just does whatever gets him votes really.
Through the lens of the american political system he is probably as close as you can get to center while being in one of the two major parties.. But do I consider him truely moderate/center... not really.. but it also depends on what is a modeate... Is a moderate someone with opinions on both sides of the aisle? Or is it someone where the majority of their opinion arent from **either** side of the aisle?
I know, which is why I said you didnt mean the GOP. The GOP is small govt not states rights. Since they arent the same you didnt mean GOP :)
