American politicians blaming school shootings on anything other than easy access to guns (any%)
Explains all the school shootings in those other countries that allow abortion and evolution.
Pretty standard Republican beliefs. What I always find odd is their incredibly romanticized, rosy view of the past - apparently back in the Good Ol’ Days, there was no murder, rape, physical or sexual abuse, wars, lying, stealing or horrific institutions like slavery (I assume he’d say it was actually a good thing) because Americans at all times revered the Lord, so of course they didn’t do any of that.
Looking at election results, the vast majority of Republican voters live in rural or at least suburban areas. Those feature both low population densities and isolation. This can make the crime rate in instances of violent crime per year low compared to an urban area with the same crime rate per capita. It also means that when someone does her killed, The average distance in feet (or miles) from the crime scene to your house is larger. This can affect perception of crime a lot
Can we just disolve as a nation already? Start an auction state by state to different countries?
Clearly we cannot manage the simple act of self governance. The experiment is over and we failed.
Honestly I’m here for a CA/OR/WA Western seaboard alliance. Hawaii can go back to being governed by natives but can ally with us.
3.6t + .3t + .73t = 4.63t using 2022 nom GDP
Which would make the Western Seaboard the #3 economy in the world.

I think some of the northeastern states could likely form a similarly powerful and cohesive country.
Alberta can join Montana and the Dakotas if they hate Canada so much.
Maybe BC could join the Western Seaboard, too.
It’ll probably never happen… but who knows? The relative stability of countries and international borders is a recent phenomenon.
I’m all for this too. The Western landlocked states would be screwed not having access to the Pacific ports as well.
Hell no. Give it back to the rightful owners. Most of the east coast goes back to Britain. The Netherlands can have New York and Pensylvania back. There probably something for Germany as well, I’m don’t know the exact histories of all states. The French and the spanish can divide the south. California can become a free nation, because it can support itself.
The experiment “self-government for the colonies” has been declared a failure. We’re coming back!
Your second and third sentences directly contradict each other so badly, I am shocked they do not destroy one another via touch akin to anti matter and matter touching one another
It’s the age old argument of “if there is no God, how do we teach what is right or wrong?”
Yes we can teach morals and ethics without a creator in place. As Penn from Penn and Teller would put it. “I don’t need the fear of eternal damnation to tell me that I shouldn’t murder. I shouldn’t murder because it’s wrong”.
