    They don’t want to rein in the senile clown, they’re pulling in the same direction. States getting the idea that they can limit corporations is an idea that, I suspect, they will want to quash.

        You’re describing a constitutional crisis and potentially a civil war, and it’s been building since even before Trump launched his campaign.

        I hope that states start standing up to the Supreme Court about this and other issues, i don’t think they will at least for this issue, state governments can be paid off just like feds, and additionally standing up to the Supreme Court will be a huge risk to whichever state tries to do so. Even though we are all aware they are illegitimate, there’s so much loyalty to the process and decorum

        I see what you’re hoping for I just don’t have any faith in any section of the United States governments actually doing anything that brash to stand up for what’s right

          I just don’t have any faith

          Jesus said the faith of a mustard seed can move mountains. That’s more than enough to contact your state rep and be a part of the solution.

          Americans still have power on the state level. That’s why we’re seeing them pass bills ensuring their electoral college votes go to the president that gains the majority of votes.

                  meh. Watching americans stupid themselves down the drain does a number on you. Hearing you be proud of it is fucking enraging lol

                  IDGAF if some self important nobodies on the internet get offended at me blowing off steam when defeatist losers insert their nose into a conversation just to hear the sound of their own voice.

                  edit: and also I’m a left leaning person so I’m used to people on my side of the political isle being twats I wouldnt’ spend 3 seconds with.
