  • Thankfully I’m not an american and don’t have that problem, I mean you could hold a national referendum, a vote for transparency? I mean adverts for medication have disclaimers, America is known universally for it’s litigation and hence masses of discliamers, can’t obviously fake news be treated that way, a disclaimer that this article, clip etc is opion based and NOT factual? I’m not too well versed on the constitution, but it seems to be bandied about a lot (especially the 2nd amendment, which isn’t even followed as I believe it mentions well organised militias or so). I feel like the entire US political system needs an overhaul, and yes I know it’s an easy thing to say, but near impossible to do with such a divided population.


  • I kind of get that, but words have to have consequeces, if I’m an influential person with millions of followers and I tweet, kill the rich, I’m going to jail for inciting violence. When the right wing starts calling leftists terrorists, that’s the same thing. They don’t want FREE speech, they want their own free hate speech and propaganda. And by now I think it’s pretty clear your consitution needs a few new amendments to ensure (if you survive this presidency) that no person or group can holdthe country hostage like this. Too much money in politics was always going to lead here. Also, the left is still playing by the rules while Trump has repeatedly shat on the constitution.
