The quote is the very last paragraph. The media is so annoying. I often don't read articles from start to finish anymore. I scan them to find the bit that finally gets to the fucking point.
The other links are at the top of the homepage - https://www.nytimes.com/
Why does this still work on people? I don't understand Americans, if Biden is in power, but the republicans in the supreme court are the only ones who ever get to decide anything, they're the ones in power, not him. They always do this, they've always done this. And yet yanks fall for it every time.
I've come to the idea that the Constitution needs to be replaced, and things like this are a big part why.
Whole damn country needs to be replaced, if you ask me. USA delenda est!
Are you actually saying that "Vote!" is a lie?

In all seriousness - I don't understand Americans at all either and I am American.
I assume it's just incredibly heavy indoctrination combined with extremely superstitious and magical thinking. If you're told USA #1 your whole life, you wouldn't want to rock the boat too much, because what if it turns out that isn't true, and that's because you found that out? Everything will be fine if you just don't question things and keep your head in the sand. Vote Biden.
(Actually "Just keep your head in the sand, everything will be fine. Vote Biden" sounds like a better campaign slogan than all the other bullshit he's doing.)
Dems love to trumpet that they'll "restore Roe". It's all lies. There are only two ways to do that. Number one is highly unlikely. And number two is so out there for the dems - it's as likely as science fiction.
Pack the court and then pass the law.
Simply give the court the middle finger, do what they want and pretend the court doesn't exist.
American exceptionalism and American civil religion are Americans' drugs of choice. And it's a heavy substance abuse problem that's bipartisan.
I'll leave this here.
I don't really understand how points like #5 work on those libertarian types though, they tend to be very loudly anti-government, while still worshiping at the altar of the USA.
conservatives now call themselves libertarians to differentiate themselves from the fascists
the vast majority of secular libertarians became anarchists, socialists, or commies
purely anecdotal and somewhat vibes based but i was kind of "in the shit" of libertarian community bs pre-2016 and saw this starting to take shape and then trump kicked it off hard
Ah, so their anti-"big government" rhetoric isn't genuine, it's just them mad that they aren't the ones in charge of that big government. I've seen that a lot.
basically. their imagined stripped down government is exactly the same as a neoliberal. just everything privatized with them in charge and wokeness destroyed
It’s why I consider Putin to be a liberal with 95% less decorum. He still puts on show elections because, well, he’s a liberal. But everyone knows who’s in charge. Even with actual elections, most Russians either support Putin and/or Russia as an institution, so anyone supporting it gets their support. No different than Americans, except Americans are 95% decorum and they’re convinced everything they see is reality then get mad when it doesn’t conform to what they’re told.
