North Carolina GOP Acts on Trump Demand, Approves New Map That Flips Dem Seat
What a ridiculously undemocratic country the U.S. is. How on earth can this be legal?
As it turns out, American democracy was almost entirely dependent on norms and honor more than laws with consequences.
A country built on the pinky swear.
America law was based on English common law, and we are have very similar problems
Back in the day, honor was a more tangible thing. People with beef would shoot at each other with smooth bore pistols. The point was they were wildly inaccurate and most people would stand their ground and walk away, honor intact. That isnt a thing in [checks year]... Guns are far too accurate, swords are very out of fashion, and Chess-Boxing never really took off. There does not appear to be a modern evolution of that tradition and I feel like society would do well to find something to fill that void (without the lethality... obviously... but that was partially the point back then).
There are plenty of laws that would prevent what's happening right now, but half of congress decided they'd rather become fascist cultists than enforce them.
What do you think other governments are built on? A genie that upholds the law? Germany presently has a nazi party. This is something that can and is happening in other democracies.
It's not. But laws require enforcement to matter.
