| Rath said: I believe it is possible, though at the moment unlikely. Your political situation certainly isn't healthy at the moment, I think that is what really needs to change in the short-medium term. |
I agree with this. I think another civil war is more of a possibility. Right now, politicians are more focused on undermining the other side depending on party affiliation than trying to get stuff done. A Rebublican will oppose a Democrat's idea just because he is a Democrat. Where as if that person was a Republican, would accept the idea. Vice Versa also. It's a way of winning votes to appeal to the Us vs. Them mentality that people have.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
Conservatives: Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.
