    The US constitution has amendments canceling amendments, more specifically the 21st repealing the 18th. Legally it is possible to repeal the 22nd, but the votes aren’t there… yet.

    The New Deal was so popular that FDR was elected to four terms. The 22nd amendment was a reaction to that.

      I think you are bold to assume their plan involved repealing vs ignoring.

        The ERA was made controversial. Any future amendment will likely be the product of catastrophe. I imagine if one happens it will be because we manage to get out of this current situation and need to prevent it in the future

              Nope. Other than all having a bird, they don’t have anything in common. The designs are wildly different, the first two aren’t holding weapons but rather representations of the sun, and I’m not sure WHAT the Roman one is holding, but it doesn’t look like any recognizable weapon.

              Not to mention that the regimes referenced were wildly different in most ways and rivals where overlap happened. This is “the Illuminati controls everything” level bullshit.

              My nuts are nice and responsive btw, thank you very much 😄

                In this case, it may just be AI generated garbage. But historically, the Roman eagle was sometimes stylized holding bolts of lightning (as a reference to Jupiter).

          The US eagle was indeed inspired by the Roman one, but that doesn’t mean it’s a continuation of that empire.

                Turkeys are super cool, but it’s still a bit silly to apply human values to wild animals. Pretty much all animals are wired to survive while expending the least amount of energy and reducing risk to themselves. Stealing catches from other animals is quite common across species because it’s easier and safer. The reality is that it’s brutal out there. I don’t have diminished admiration for a bear because it found some food in a trash can instead of catching fish from a stream.

          Dianne Feinstein is the more egregious example.

          What happens is is that these congressman build a circle of aids who handle all the real work while they campaign. Those aids develop working relationships with other aids. The more senior, the more influence they have. It quickly gets to the point when the politician themselves are just a figurehead and the aids don’t want to start over with a new one, so they just wheel their host around.

          Trump is well into the category where he’s just being lead around by his handlers.

      He can do 20 more years. Weekend at Bernies is also possible. No crazy scheme is off the table in today’s America. Trump may also just be laying out the red carpet for some even crazier lunatic. Maybe hereditary dictatorship? Elon? Nothing is off the table at this point. Fuck me and the bleak possible future.

    Tacky as hell

    At least Nazi Germany hired actual artists and designers to create stunning and awe inspiring designs and artwork using quality materials (and no I am not glorifying those monsters)

    MAGA just go to the local print shop and skim off any premade imagery and use AI to mash it all together on the cheapest poster they can buy.

      You don’t have to glorify their beliefs to admit they were fantastic at propaganda and aesthetics. Birth of a Nation was used in film schools for decades afterward for a reason and that reason wasn’t that film schools were all secretly run by Nazis.

        Can you provide some info about what film you mean? I only see results for the 1915 American film called Birth of a Nation. Which sounds pretty awful, but seems to predate Nazis.

          Sorry, got my racist propaganda films that still show up in film school because they used revolutionary techniques in film making and are thus important pieces of cinematic history mixed up. The Birth of a Nation is the US one, Triumph of the Will is the Nazi one I was thinking of.
