Less surveillance and death machines back then. Resistance will be harder.

Killing someone out of negligence is still killing and still a crime.

I don’t see why the decision to not vote wouldn’t still be a decision for whatever the outcome of not voting is.

And yet Trump is the party of more and cronyism. Not less.

The is just more of the “drain the swamp” con. People didn’t learn.

Pound for pound, the CFM output of vacuums doesn’t come close to the CFM of leaf blowers. Probably because of the lack of filtration. And I guess that’s the point. Why filter material the wind would just kick up in the air naturally anyway? This is a waste of energy and time. Obviously if you are blowing material that normally wouldn’t be outdoors for the wind to blow around naturally, that’s a different story.

I will admit, the sound is really annoying though.

Not voting is an act of renouncing your voice and your rights. It’s not a protest. It’s at best complicity with the status quo, and at worst going to support a candidate that will be far far worse for the issues you are “protesting”. You don’t get to complain when you don’t vote. All you get to do is sit down, shut up, and continue your inaction.

That’s too kind. I’d like to read about him in an orange jump suit.

Philosophically, restrictions on trans in sports is the one issue I will concede to conservatives.

That being said, we’ve got sooooo many other bigger problems to deal with. A government passing laws on transgenders in sports signifies a government that is more concerned with appearances and scoring cheap points than actually helping people.

In a democracy, you only get a voice if you vote. Voting IS the protest. When you don’t vote, or spoil your vote, you abdicate your voice.

The big irony here is this is a very simplistic take on a potentially complex topic.

Globalisation marches on, swallowing languages and cultures. Conservatism is necessary to preserve diversity long term.

To be clear, I am not trying to insinuate there are not many things completely and absolutely abhorrent by modern day conservatism.
