    Some variation on this is the inevitable outcome. It’s same story as with say, universal health care. We already know the solution, we just have assholes and people stuck in the past preventing it. At some point, most of them will die off and society moves on.

      Universal health care has been on the national stage since Teddy Roosevelt in 1912. Over a century and not much to show for it.

      The problem with eventually is that there’s no measure of success, since you can never be wrong, it’s just not eventually yet.

        How many countries have pulled it off? It’s laughable to think it is impossible here. Everything I’ve suggested has already been implemented elsewhere. It’s pretty logical to assume it can happen here too.

          I assume you’ve pivoted now to universal healthcare…but I’m not sure. No one said it’s impossible, for that matter, no one said gun control is impossible. Just that it won’t pass a Republican controlled legislative body, and I assume it would be struck down by the Supreme Court…same as gun control. Change both of those (Congress & Court) and you’ve got a chance.

            The point is that opposition to both is not some permanent feature of the US government. Nor will the SCOTUS always be far right.

              You could save so much time if you just turned your account into a bot that replied as follows:

              Eventually! Eventually! Eventually!

                There comes a point when you become just a white nationalism apologist. As such, you can go fuck yourself.
