And I agree, libertarians are perhaps the most principled.
Speaking of the elections, in many ways it demonstrates the potential glory of the 10th Amendment that will become more evident if the more conservative courts go the direction we're being sold.
Just look at all the propositions and referendums this time around.
WV prepared for much more latitude to control abortion by ensuring it will be as restricted as they are permitted to make it. On the other coast, OR votes in a supermajority to continue using public money for abortions.
Three states vote to permit Medicaid expansion and a fourth elects a governor who will implement a vote from last year. But MT votes down a cigarette tax that leaves that state potentially withdrawing from expansion.
Oregon votes to permit sugary drinks to be taxed but next door Washington votes to stop such taxes.
I hope we see more such heterogeneity among states. Let them experiment and show what works and what doesn't. Americans can then choose to live in the environment that makes them happy.
It will make Red States redder and Blue States bluer for sure, but maybe we might get some states go on different directions than that. Perhaps NH might be able to show us what a libertarian state would look like.
Boobs and the First Amendment
@DrYuriMom is that legit because that really reads like a copypasta
Huh? Which what?
> women on the internet
of course it's copypasta
Copy what?
What is a copypasta?
What are frogs?
Huh
All I'll say is that I wrote my own words.
It represents my thinking accurately
the way you phrased it sounded like a pasta though, somehow.
That's all
No worries. I'm still learning a lot about the places on the internet I never knew existed until I reached out a few weeks back and started trying to understand how half the nation was clearly happy with someone I see as an uncouth bully in the White House.
I've voted Republican and found common ground with Reagan and the Bushes. Trump just seems to have come from outer space and I'm trying to fathom how half of America can see him as just fine.
Maybe someone rude who completes his checklist, in the modern context, is more desirable than someone polite who gets stonewalled
also doesnt help that his opponent was Hillary
So you're pretty recent to internet social circles? @DrYuriMom
@DrYuriMom we just wanted to play vidya games :v
oh no, this chat is filled with gabbergoblins. I'm telling tumblr
I've been on the internet since 1993 and before that I participated in Fidonet. But the internet is a strange place where you can relate to people all over the world but still surround yourself entirely with people like you.
I only realized this with the election of Mr Trump
I got a whiff of it when I'd play games like WoT, but I'd just turn off general chat and attribute the banter to foreigners
I now know that was the banter of fellow Americans
It's been a shock, but I'm dedicated to reaching out and understanding.
you missed the golden age of a lot of social circles tbh
Apparently
Banter is weird
