The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.
I’m actually really curious. What culture do white people have?
Check out some history books on Europe, those are pretty rad.
Fun fact: apparently fried chicken is originally an Irish dish.
Funner fact: white people is basically an umbrella term for a handful of cultures and ethnicities. The only way a person could have no culture is of they lived in total isolation from other people. Saying someone has no culture is like saying they have no accent.
Seriously when will people learn that no one continent can be reduced to one culture or skin tone/ethnicity? Not Africa, Asia, and certainly not Europe.
These are the times in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues. When a mind is raised, and animated by scenes that engage the heart, then those qualities which would otherwise lay dormant, wake into life and form the character of the hero …

Movements—from #MeToo to Black Lives Matter to the Dreamers to the
stunning teacher strikes in red states—helped move opinion, not alienate
it. Bold ideas like Medicare for All grew more popular, not less, even
under scabrous Republican attacks. Progressives have made great advances
over the last two years. Now is the time to push harder, to challenge
those standing in the way, and to build not a restoration, but the
political revolution that has just begin.

It’s not a civics problem, either. One hopes liberal activists like Ken Dilanian, who wonders “how much longer the American majority will tolerate being pushed around by a rural minority,” understand sixth-grade civics. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman surely knows that the Constitution doesn’t give “disproportionate weight” to smaller states. It intentionally gives all states the same weight in the Senate. Krugman only finds this idea “disproportionate” because it protects millions of Americans from the centralized coercive state that he envisions for them. The disproportionality he sees merely reflects his own concerns. It has nothing to do with the system.
Also, rural America doesn’t “bully” people like Dilanian. The federal government was never supposed to be this powerful. The non-“forward moving” America—those dummies Krugman would like to nanny from Washington—doesn’t very much care how Dilanian lives. He, on the other hand, has big plans for them.
It should be noted that these majoritarians throw millions Americans aside to make this argument. We don’t know how a national majority would vote. There are many millions of Republicans in New York and California who don’t involve themselves in the futility of state politics. There are more Republicans in California than there are in Wyoming.
But as you can see on Election Day, liberals have made “democracy”— a word mentioned zero times in the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence—into a sacramental rite. Getting more votes in an election outweighs the inherent rights of liberty that are laid out in the document. Unless, of course, that right happens to incidentally intersect with some advantageous partisan idea, like birthright citizenship; then Democrats become strict originalists. Everything else is up for discussion. Well, up for discussion now. It wasn’t a big topic for the hundred or so years Democrats were vastly overrepresented in the House.
Democrats Aren’t Losing Faith In Our Constitutional System. They Just Don’t Like It.
