All empires have one thing in common they all ended up falling. We have been watching the EU slowly disintegrate as well as the U.S. for awhile now as the political divide keeps growing.
It would be much more stable imho if states did what they supposed to and govern and the federal government concentrated on foreign policy. Numerous examples can be seen if Oregon doesnāt want offshore drilling off their coast well then Alaska canāt have it either, if Kansas wants to prohibit abortion and California doesnāt well then Kansas can shove it. For whatever reason the country decided to give all the power to the federal government and the simple fact is what is good for one state isnāt good for another.
We are more split than anytime in history not my words, and all I basically hear from either side is we are going to stick it to them, of course that lasts about two years and we shuffle things up and start all over. I could list many things that I think help bring about the demise of the nation but at this point unless Biden does something spectacular to bring people together I just donāt see it getting any better.
Sounds familiarā¦we are importing cheap labor for slave wages & keeping overall wages down ala the Chamber of commerce, RINOās, & the democratic partyās illegal immigration who serves big business. If they really cared about those people they would give them green cards before they leave Mexico & allow them to come here without having their women & children raped, trafficked, & their men slaves. 60,000 SLAVES inside the US due to illegal immigration & NOBODY cares except those who want to stop it.
Well, not really. The Gracchi and Q Varius Severus - and later, Marius - were addressing real problens created by tribal allocation, Optimate policy, and Roman treatment of the Socii.
The notion of a president ābring people togetherā is so overblown and unrealistic. Name one president in modern times who accomplished such a thing? Furthermore most Americans are intermingled with people who politically are like them. Also politics is such a divisive issue itās not something most people like to talk about with others. Think about it, how much does ones important relationships change based on whoās ass is in the White House? Regarding politicians bringing people together, thatās a joke. These people are nothing special and thereās nothing they do that most of us canāt do.
