Democracy needs restraints and counterbalances to avoid mob rule

Kid Rock isn't actually running for office

to avoid a Tyranny of the Majority

Literally what'd stop him, though?

hello#

The founding fathers put so much thought into everything they put into the constitution and people are working day and night to undo it all

And if he did run, what'd stop his victory?

What would stop a man who's known for being on a TV show from running for president 🤔 🤔

@Kazza That's why they also developed the US Civil Religion to culturally defend the Charters of Freedom

@Hotzendorf Certain states passing laws to return the job of choosing state electors to the state legislatures

Fair enough

The Election of 1789 was a mixed bagof popular votes and state legislatures on a state-by-state basis

eminem or kid rock having an actual chance of winning is a pretty clear sign that the quality of professional politicians is severely lacking.

Election of 1789?

What

@Deleted User Hence the campaign to repeal the 17th

@Hotzendorf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1788%E2%80%9389

Ok then

That's fun

How about we just kill everyone that disagrees with me

yeah, i'm with you there mr boat man.

Then the world would work perfectly

2 states didn't participate because they hadn't yet ratified the Constitution

Another state didn't participate due to a deadlocked legislature

Another four participated while choosing their candidates without popular vote

and the rest held popular votes

Federalists were memes

@Alien and Sedition Acts

Imagine voting for George fucking Clinton in the 1788-1789 election

my friend whos in the army is a really right wing guy. He thinks that Hitler was defending the european people. And that we should have Natinal Socialism.

I was tryna talk with him the other day and I couldnt convince him on anything. and he seemed to have logic behind it

The fundimental split between me and him was that I think that its our culture you should adhere to. Western culture, he thinks its race.

I mean, he's wrong so it doesn't matter

say no

How do I convince him though

you don't

he's deep rooted in his ideology

You don't be friends with autists

Just know that he's wrong because an ideology is not teathered to a race without exception
