“Seems accurate” isn’t accurate CJ.

1. Immunity for core constitutional powers

2. Presumptive immunity for official acts.

3. No difference from anyone else for non-official acts

100%. I also blame Obama and the dem politicians who legislated this into existence. This has been a disaster.

This is a great way to think about it. Put in the same effort and get farther.

>If people in the US try to turn climate action into a blame game, it will end very very poorly for the US.

Pure fantasy. What will happen to the US and who will do it to us?

Idk I see a bunch of great commentary in response. Noted that I should not assume good intent from you.

>Is that not right-wing?

I don't think many self-described "right-leaning" people would have called Clinton "right wing" in the 90s.

I 100% see your point and agree with you that he had major policies that I would call right wing today.

Nope no stealth edit, my bad.

My point still stands, "politics change and assessments of politicians change accordingly".

Bill Clinton's crime bill would be considered far right today.

Ronald Regean's amnesty bill would be considered far left today.

de Gaulle would be considered insanely far right today. Many aspects of Bush (assuming GW here) would be considered not in line with America's far-right today.

Assume good intent. It helps you see the actually interesting point being made.

Thanks for the response, agreed on the definition of "pain tolerance."

I do think that the US population is able to bear incredible levels of pain if it's packaged a certain way. Examples:

-20 year Global War on Terror which cost $6T+

-Healthcare costs which far outstrip other western nations, mostly paid for out of pocket, and which increase every year

-Opioid Crisis which killed more people than all our 20th century wars combined

-Lack of workplace protections, time off, etc which our peer nations enjoy

The Chinese have not dealt with any of these things, so yeah, they have more available capacity to manage new social disruptions. That said, Americans love war, so we could probably add another war without disrupting things too badly.
