They need to actually have an airtight cause to remove them - plus I am not sure if this is a Florida Governor power or if other governors have similar powers. Midwestern Dems are using their political power though, such as the new Wisconsin Democrat-controlled Supreme Court: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dfKZzOeAJs
While I think this is true to a degree, I also think they do operate consistently along some warped principles as well - for instance: "No one can tell me what to do, but I can tell others". Prosecuting Trump is Communism because he's above criticism as the Leader, and thus all these court proceedings must be a bad-faith effort to remove him from power pre-emptively. The inverse applies to Biden - nothing he does is seen in good faith, and every bad thing imaginable about him MUST be true.
Because they honestly believe women are inferior. They might not say it literally but we got the last GOP nominee for Arizona governor saying "God didn't create women as men's equals" so who knows
It comes from a desire to ensure that their worldview is never challenged, and people find appeal in it because it can give them a sense of purpose in life. A white woman might support Christian theocracy because she believes that she isn't like those "sluts", and that if she follows what rules are laid out for her she'll find contentment.
Check out BeliefItOrNot, a YouTube channel, former evangelical child who left the church in adulthood with lots of great perspectives on this.
Absolutely. It's becoming the replacement for actual care and support, legalized, a coerced, slow-moving genocide of the mentally ill and disabled because not even "socialist healthcare canada" (as idiot Americans call it) wants to support people who can't churn the cogs of capital.
For some people, this is exactly why they wanted it overturned. Pro-Choice Activists have been saying for decades that this is about rolling back women's rights and freedoms, and that arguing over the merits of abortion as a medical procedure was pointless.
It's all above board probably in the most literal sense. The State Guard would have to be called up and do something really heinous for any legal action to happen I think.
It's quite fascist though. All his actions as governor come straight out of the 1930s.
Right but like, who determined this? Oh thats right, unelected party officials who feel that a sitting president is "entitled" to run again.
Plus, this ignores that at the time, some of the people pushing for Biden in 2020 even said that he was supposed to "right the ship" so that "someone younger" could take the reigns in 4 years. It was literally one of the counterpoints to those of us who opposed his nomination then for this exact reasoning, that once in office he'd feel entitled to running for re-election because that's what a sitting president does.
It's the same sort of dynastic political thinking that you see in local party politics where their kids who went to school for politics are basically groomed by the party establishment to replace them.
Isn't it interesting that this part never factors into the discussion? Its always brought up that third party candidates spoil votes for the more popular candidate, but only so far as "and that's why you need to vote BLUE"
The Democratic establishment doesn't want to fix this issue. They want to be able to coerce people into voting for them out of fear of the ever more openly fascist GOP.
All I saw were legions of already existing fascists, nationalists, and other bigots feeling like society was "finally" on "their" side. Growing up in rural America, I didn't feel like Trump rallied a userbase that didn't exist before, but rather he rallied them in the way they've been wanting to get rallied since they lost Jim Crow laws.
About 30% of the United States wishes the Civil War ended differently and always has...
Thing is...north American countries like the United States and Canada were founded and expanded in order to conquest the indigenous people. In the United States, it was called Manifest Destiny, and it was the idea that (white) Americans were divinely anointed to create a nation from "sea to shining sea". It's taught like a good thing in school, but it reveals that at the heart of American society is ideals of subjugation and conquest that have been tempered and sanitised through our culture.
Before the Supreme Court ruled on it in the 1800s, you straight up had individual states trying to institute State Religions and censorship regimes because they tried to argue that the Constitution only applied to the federal government.
Most "good" things in American culture and history happen in spite of the ruling authorities at the time. Hollywood was forced to censor itself from the 1930s-1950s under the Hays Code. Comic books too, but because it was industry self-censorship, the US gets to be "free" because it's not the government doing it.
That's not even getting into the state-sanctioned witch hunts for "communists" in the McCarthy era of the 50s.
