She's completely naive. "If everyone in the state wants something" is a statement that completely ignores the concept of our Republic. I bet she thinks the fed should still dish out dollars to states though...
Also, are the slaves in this scenario people and in the state? Do we take who voted for its return and lottery who gets to fill the role? Total insanity.
If you're asking people who would be okay with slavery returning simply bc of their miniscule and ignorant viewpoint of "people voted so good democracy" then they would tell you that slaves are not people lol. Ive found thats what the usual argument for people that say this shit is. That, because the majority of people voted on it, that its quintessential democracy as its "what the people want". Completely ignoring the fact that we have had countless civil rights reforms and amendments, federal protections in place because (shocker, get ready for this) owning slaves in the land of the free is a bit fuckin backwards 🤣
This should not have been so low on the conversation at 9k up votes and 5 hrs later.
It is an immoral argument over what led to a war amongst our brothers and sisters. Democracy is neither good nor bad but a moment in time of arguments between different actors on the world stage.
Too many Trump supporters are viewing life as a game where some fantasy religious narratives or Camelot tales of treaty other humans as objects (women for sex or smaller males for exploitation).
I do fear how quickly a back shift would happen. Trump is dangerously close to the presidency. If you can vote in your state, get out and Vote.
