After everything I've seen and read today, I really can't believe every single person, including some lawyers, are missing the point of this whole thing.
The original Roe v. Wade ruling was unconstitutional. Or at best it was a very poor rendering of constitutional law. Using the 14th to argue pro-abortion was a poor argument. It should never have been a federal issue.
The US is a republic. It's what the United States part literally means. Is everyone retarded? Do they not teach this anymore in Burgerland schools? The US isn't a democracy, it's a republic. It's why you have a constitution.
This is the main reason the US can't survive. There's this deliberate effort that things have to be a certain way everywhere. People complain about California being ruined and then other people complain that abortion should be a right in fucking Missouri.
Moldbug says the US is now in its 3rd iteration. The original started in 1776 and ended after the Civil War, when the Federal Government asserted that state legislatures do not have supremacy over it. The second republic ended in the 1930s when FDR reorganized and empowered the federal government in a multiple departments, each with their own executive-judicial-legislative apparatuses granted by their Enabling Acts. So now we're in this post-FDR world where the Federal Government not only has supremacy over the states, but also actively shapes and informs the constituents to vote a specific way to continue empowering it.
The ideal outcome of this is that the US and EU are so wholly like each other that NATO could become a single country where every member state is like the US states right now. The other outcome is what's actually happening: the EU and US are losing control of their member states, people are skeptical of national unions, and people are openly talking about political violence.
Dr. Ted's book covers why the US government is so afraid of violence (and why even saying "political violence" in a post like this makes your skin crawl and would probably get you to report the post as a fedpost if it wasn't me writing it).
But it falls in line with an ancient greek concept called the Kyklos / Cycle.
The issue with Democracy is that the root word
Demos means the citizen. So, it's a Citizen's Government. The question becomes "Who is a Citizen?". Up until 1865, we said white European men. After that, it became black and white men. Then it became all men and women born in the United States. Then after FDR with LBJ we had huge immigration reforms and it essentially became "everyone, except Ethan Ralph".
well when the
Demos is EVERYONE (except Ethan Ralph), then it's no longer a Democracy - it's an Ochlocracy; mob rule.
Mob rules suck! It's Anarchy. We don't like Anarchy. All attempts at stateless societies have failed and when your constituent base is as Diverse(tm) as the US, you're going to have serious fucking problems the government can't solve in a way that makes everyone happy. Then they fail. Why do they fail? Because Chad comes along.

"This chopping heads shit sucks, trust me. I got a plan." - le Chad, 1799
And oops, now your mob rule is over.
Monarchy's have a problem where people die and Monarchs also die and the guy who takes over is not usually as chad as the first chad. Chad had to really fight to become King when everyone was screeching and cutting off heads. Chad v2 was appointed somehow. So he might suck, fuck up, and people really start to wonder why this retard beta cuckboy is King.
Beta Chad doesn't like that (he doesn't want his head cut off) and starts really trying to reconcile his power.
The people who help Beta Chad stay in power ask for a little power in return, but they actually want to be Chad, which results in
There's checks and balances between Beta Chad and his friends, but then Gamma Chad takes over and the old friends start wondering why they're enabling these retards to have power to begin with.
Now not only do you have this retard king, but you also have a bunch of unelected officials running everything! This is retarded, we could do better ourselves. Off with their heads!
OH NO THERE'S TOTAL ANARCHY AND EVERYTHING SUCKS AGAIN
WE NEED A REAL LEADER
(except this didn't happen because Trump sucked; but my point is that the calls for a real leader to end the mob rule we live in today currently exist and will continue to)
repeat forever and ever until the computers take over and enslave you as cattle
