One thing i can really say for the modern age is that it's showing how we did things in the past really doesn't work when people are willfully subverting the system and able to stack the deck in their favor.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah, really wild how a government forged hundreds of years ago by and for wealthy white landowners doesn't seem to stand the test of time.
It really feels like there's going to be an uprising soon. People aren't going to take being pushed around for too long. Dwindling income, rising costs for necessities like housing, food, gas, cars, etc... People won't fight back as long as they're entertained and fed, but large amounts of people are going hungry now. Crime is through the roof. Even if you manage to keep your head above water, you're much more likely to have your home or car broken into, or be the victim of a violent crime. Manufacturing has all moved to poor countries so in developed countries the rich and powerful no longer need the middle class to serve them. They just exploit the peasants in China, India, Vietnam, Thailand, etc... It's pretty scary, to be honest.
The other conservative justices are exhibitionists. Roberts gets off to the same shit they do, he's just upset they do it publicly and give him a bad name in the process.
