I Look at This Country and I See a Stranger

Those aren’t rights in the scheme of things. That is a state regulating (in this case over regulation) trade.

If these restrictions are overly onerous, there are 49 other states from which to choose.

There are 37 other states with less onerous restrictions not 49

Typical Jones thread.
Drop a duece on the board and then gone leaving everyone else to step in it.

“When your country strips you of rights and protections, it tells you that it no longer recognizes you. Other times, you realize that you no longer recognize your country. People leave; families rupture along political lines; friendships shatter; people and institutions that used to be widely admired are vilified, and yesterday’s villains are sainted; familiar faces disappear from the public sphere; an aggressive conformity takes hold; the material conditions of life change.

The indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show signaled just such a shift in landscape. The news tells us that we are moving from one country to a different, autocratic one. The television shows us: This country looks different, sounds different and feels different. A familiar face and a familiar voice vanish. Some people turned on their televisions on Friday night to see a memorial to Charlie Kirk when they expected to see a comedian welcoming his next guest.

What unites the many actions of the Trump administration, from the sledgehammer it has taken to government programs to the demonstrative cruelty it has built into immigration raids, is that they transform the daily physical, economic and psychic experience of life. President Trump is remaking the country in his image: crude, harsh, gratuitously mean. The ongoing attack on civil society, which his administration plans to intensify in the name of Charlie Kirk, is a part of this program. Civil society makes life more livable. The administration’s message is that the work of civil society no longer belongs in this country.”

Trump’s America is one of cruelty and hate, of division and conflict, an America we no longer recognize.

lol, this happened long before Trump was born, and your moralistic, monied Yankees are to blame.

You did everything to enslave everyone and everything on a federal plantation, using it’s people as cogs to fuel your growth or cannon fodder to wage your wars of aggression disguised as “making the war safe for central banks, uh I mean “democracy”” and then spent the last few decades stripping away that civil society in the name of impossible equality that was merely a pretext to invade, control, and micromanage every aspect of life, attacking anyone who saw through the scam as “Nazis” or “racists” and just to rig the game extra in your favor you imported tens of millions of culturally incomparable and politically hostile people to further your desire for power.


You wanna know who wrecked America? Look in the damn mirror!

No surprise that avowed lefties would consider their own Country to be a stranger after they were the victims of the federal based education system that taught them that the U.S. was the enemy. Maybe it would come as a surprise to lefties that their own Country is the only established political system in the world that guarantees certain freedoms in the first ten Amendments to the Constitution aka the Bill of rights. Don't try asserting your right to free speech even in the U.K.

Biden spent a billion dollars on trees to fight racism. That is kind of divisive given how many more pressing things that could have been addressed with the money,

To quote the OP.

The shift you references is one back to sanity and civility.

How anyone can’t see that is beyond me.

What youre seeing is the nation rejecting socialism and progressive woke ideology imposed by the democrat party. American values are being restored. You cant see it because youre indoctrinated.
