You know what? It's BECAUSE of the US that we, French, have this now.
The US has become a cautionary tale for:
• Refusing Universal Healthcare
• Opposing Racial and Cultural Equity
• Revoking Women’s Bodily Autonomy
• Expanding Excessive Incarceration
• Exonerating Police Violence
• Dismissing Effective Gun Control
• Ignoring Mass Shootings
• Denying Veteran and First Responder Care
• Allowing Environmental Toxins
• Approving Carcinogens in Food
• Condoning High Infant Mortality
• Eradicating LGTBQ+ Rights
• Encouraging Religion in Government
• Dismantling Social Services
• Rejecting Living Wage, Retirement, and Pension Issues
• Persecuting the Low-income and Homeless
• Promoting the Purchase of Politicians and Judges
I think you're learning the wrong lessons on a few of those. My alternative version of a few, which hopefully go further than what you said.
• Opposing Racial and Cultural Equity
Not treating all people as equal in the eyes of the law.
• Revoking Women’s Bodily Autonomy
Not respecting bodily autonomy in general.
• Expanding Excessive Incarceration
Embracing Prohibition which then imprisoned an underclass.
• Exonerating Police Violence
Arming the police as if it was a military unit.
• Allowing Environmental Toxins
The promotion of corporate structures over the wellbeing of the people.
• Eradicating LGTBQ+ Rights
Not holding human rights as a guiding principle.
• Encouraging Religion in Government
Not holding your own stated goals as a guiding principle (separation of church and state).
Every story needs a villain.
