Idk i could go for another 2015

Oh in traffic all that new England kindness goes away rapidly. If you impede them without needing help well they won’t ram you or wave a gun, so it’s better than Midwestern drivers, but they will honk their hearts out and cut you off

I think it’s far more north south than east west. The PNW is definitely kind, though they’re neither nice nor mean, more just uncomfortable you’re talking to them. Meanwhile the southeast gives California a run for their money in polite cruelty.

People are aware that without a culture built around it places like Alaska with 22+ hours of light/dark a day can make people a little crazy, but I think the inverse also can cause problems without a culture built around it. Winter is good for you even if it sucks

So is it beers, trucks, babes, and America, or “I killed that good for nothing sonofabitch husband and I’d do it again”

Weird, thumb out is 3 in ASL (a french sign derived language), but thumb in that position reads as a really weird 2 to me

It’s a movement we can push for. A demand that all supreme court justices be investigated for unjust enrichment

Tim Cook absolutely doesn’t

Yeah but nobody is going to celebrate her convincing them to try something else

You can impeach them for shit like idk taking bribes cough cough Thomas and Alito

The state of Virginia is literally the defendant in the interracial marriage supreme court case. Loving v Virginia

There is no system of governance that can withstand a critical mass of the people operating it choosing not to do what they’re supposed to. It’s why ohio ignored its supreme court and constitution on gerrymandering and why Trump gets away with shit.

The judiciary was slowly captured alongside the media because they were supposed to be the counterbalances to congress (who’s become afraid of their own shadows) and the presidency (a revolving door of business as usual centrists and caligula level lunatics)

Don’t they all

I was already there for repeatedly stating that the latter 8 amendments of the bill of rights matter and should be interpreted broadly.

Oh absolutely, but knowing their ideologies as human beings gives you the power to wedge their camps apart. Sorry I’d forgotten the name of the federalist society. It also helps to know how they’ll fall on issues.

Of the 6 right wing justices all are opposed to the enlightenment ideals that our nation was founded on, but how and why are important strategical information.

We on the left tend to see those we oppose as a monolith rather than a coalition that could splinter into our level of infighting if pushed in the wrong way. In a similar vein we are also capable of forming a unified coalition that actually affects change in accordance with our wills

I’m scared to fly if the controllers are anti-dei hires.

Just because she doesn’t respect the sanctity of marriage doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be allowed the protections and privileges it grants

Because the supreme court is extremely ideologically mixed. You have the 3 liberals who are fairly similar. But then you’ve got Thomas and Alito who are far right, and able to believe whatever they’ve been materially incentivised to believe. You’ve got Kavinaugh who is a classic New England conservative fuckup. Kennedy and Gorsuch surely have their own distinct beliefs, but they’re not really interesting enough for me to have heard what those beliefs are. Then there’s Barrett who is certainly ideologically interesting, and has affiliation with a catholic cult and firmly believes that marriage is the foundation of society.

Also, there’s been a long conservative backlash to stare decisis that’s the reason we’re even in this position. It used to be basically unheard of for a ruling to be overturned unless it was egregiously misdecided like Dred Scott. While traditional ideologies of the court are basically shot for decades thanks to a massive conspiracy against the united states by groups like the heritage foundation, court decisions aren’t yet wholly at their whims.

Thank fuck

Yeah but people are sick of the dems consistently just letting republicans control the government. That’s a decent chunk of frustration with them, and it’s a regular propaganda tool of the republicans
