Some new asshole I have no doubt. Are you giving me a magic wand? The powers of a dictator? How broad can I make the changes for this fully functional society you are implicitly asking me to dream up on Lemmy?
I'm just one person. We have a whole as society to figure that stuff out.
They were elected after they murdered the opposition.
Would you vote against the guys that would rape your wife and kids while you watch and then lock you all in a burning building?
The guys that have the support of the US government and the CIA?
Really sounds like you are arguing in favor of those ideological reasons.
I'm not saying we should take the fortunes of the rich and light them on fire. (Though there would be benefits even to that destructive approach)

"We can't change things! There would be costs!" There are costs to inaction. We are paying them every day.
So cruel to Minnesota and Illinois.
Also Colorado and New Mexico.
Honestly if those 2 went to Mexico the others could go to Canada the red and purple states could rot. The only tricky part would be the capital. Pretty sure Maryland and Virginia would want to sign up as maple leaves.
You are trying to scare me, an American, by saying that if Europe keeps going the way they are going someday they might be as terrible a place to live as America.

The money was off the books and then sent to the death squads killing innocent farmers.
Unlike Nixon, Congress was not willing to impeach, so Regan denied everything and only a few staffers were prosecuted.
Bush Sr pardoned them.
Republicans: not even once.
"I just think things work better when the pigs decide how we do everything."
-said the pig.
"I simply said the negative effects of increased taxation of the rich can offset the benefits at some point."
That's reasonable. I think that point is somewhere between 80 and 100% .
And I'm willing to wreck a few fortunes to find out where exactly.
To take your seriously for a moment: Lack of investment sounds like next generations problem.
His treatment caused about . 02% of the support for him.
United Heaths treatment of the rest of us caused the rest.
