At this rate, I don't know if we're all going to survive the next four years - I might get an aneurysm reading all the pointless drivel for years on end.
In before that happens but it does not take you out and you get both a nice hospital bed with TV on news and maybe a drip feed of the forum when your family find you spent a fair bit of time here and feel like making you at home.
I will keep praying for sweet release. I can't say I agree with your point of view - the political scene in the US didn't need any healing, it needed to be up-ended. The previous administration did just that, the playbook has changed, which is a positive development as far as I'm concerned. The years of the Uniparty won't be coming back anytime soon, the two parties were reminded about the priorities of their electorate. I hope competition will keep growing, but for now the circus is still ran by dinosaurs who don't fully understand the new rules of the game.
The slow drawn out death of various US political parties as they refuse to change, or listen to the populace, has been somewhat amusing to watch. Would have been nice to have a proper change about 10 years ago but eh, death comes if not for everybody then enough that it will likely happen by that if nothing else before the next few years are up.
As far as competition and not uniparty. Can that mathematically exist in the US' setup? The shakeup required to make that happen and not just offer up your neck to the spoiler effect* would almost make for new country levels of change (can you really see coalition governments, runoff or something other than electoral college win-lose) and likely only happen as a result of massive centralisation (and while I usually laugh at states rights types they are not entirely without a point).
Also seeing the mess of things that is Germany, Belgium, Northern Ireland, India, Spain to some extents, maybe Italy but that is something of a different game, Canada to a few extents, arguably the UK as a whole... where coalitions are either the order of the day or something of a thing.
*give or take their recent suicide then when the libertarian party was a cohesive force was it ever a thing people voted for in proportion to the likely "all things being equal which do you like the most?" or just when it was comfortable as a "not effectively a vote against" choice in a given location?
I suspect the US will have a female president soon anyway and that will start the healing
Ignoring my misgivings with the term healing does having tits particularly make for some kind of political ability or abilities in this particular scenario?
Edit: Re protest laws. Do we have links to the proposed bills so we can try reading for ourselves?
If it is making for something equivalent to stand your ground laws when someone decides surrounding you to set you on fire/mace to the face/try to pull you out/smash your windows, which is what I imagined would be the laws if going by the usual action-reaction thing. If it is "fuck your Doom my childhood training simulator was Carmageddon" then that is a rather different matter.
As far as 3 man riot. I don't know if that would be a follow on from 3 man gang type rulings so I would be curious to see a breakdown of that one (not that I find the 3 man gang laws that useful).
