Right now, I agree with you on this. I just said the same thing with what you're replying to.
I said this too in the post you're replying to. When those in power can make up any law they want at any time and have unjust consequences is when people won't follow the law because its the law anymore. Law will be meaningless by then,
I'm not arguing it. I'm answering the question YOU posed. "Who cares?" I told you who cares. I don't support it or like it, but its what is right now.
Ah. I see. Your entire point is that a completely ineffectual group that will do nothing will be unhappy. So there is absolutely no reason for trump et al to care just like they haven't cared about anything else.
I "love" the "I am technically correct" reddit crowd.
Not exactly. They're not unhappy yet because they haven't suffered the consequences of trump's actions yet simply because of the inertia of an otherwise functioning government hasn't come to halt yet. However, we are on the path where they will be unhappy eventually and thats when they'll suddenly start to care.
Listen friend, you asked a question and I gave you the benefit of the doubt you were actually interested in an answer because you were clearly upset (rightfully so!) about inaction by the American people. I read your post that you didn't understand why anyone would care about how the Supreme Court was perceived. I couldn't tell if you haven't figured out we're in a bit of an echo chamber here with friends.
Yes, all of us here see the injustice. Yes, all of us here see the government overreach, the graft, the corruption on full public display for any that care to look and see it. Yes, all of us here see the way this is going is getting worse and not better. WE, IN HERE, DO NOT REPRESENT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS. Most Americans, at this point, don't care. At a future point on this path they will. No, I don't like it either.
If you just want to rage post, I won't stop you, there is a lot to rage about. However, I also don't see any point just saying "yeah that!" to your posts if thats all you're trying to do.
