I think laws specifically designed to get a cop inside your car, running your license, quizzing you, etc. are bad, yes. Again, you cannot address the issues with policing and not find fault with these self serving laws the state creates. Laws that overwhelmingly negatively impact poor and minority communities, yet left leaning people are eager for them and want more government reach under the banner of "if it saves one life". They are willing to ruin countless lives so they can tell themselves they helped society.
Lol, you pulled this up from way back. My choice is America. I'll explain to you why Trump will go down in history as one of the best Presidents ever. It's because he exposed that our government has become one of the most corrupt gov's in the history of the world. The FBI is the most corrupt law enforcement agencies we have. The CIA has yet to have all of it's atrocities uncovered. Basically, the intelligence community is pushing an agenda and if you don't comply we'll hurt you. If that's what you support, you're a fascist.
The cultural and political differences right now can't be overcome by mutual commercial benefits right now. The Blue team views life and government far differently than the red team right now.
Well of course they have now. Our monetary policy is out of control and we are headed for a Venezuela type outcome one day. I was being serious . The Confederacy in the civil war had an uncontrollable inflation rate. I am of the opinion that their unsound monetary system played a huge role in their inability to survive the protracted conflict. Anyway I’d be curious to see if our hypothetical breakaway states would have the good sense to revert to some sort of metallic based standard to ensure that their currency had some stability. Had the South been able to do that things may have ended differently.
