Same as it ever was.

@anneapplebaum If shifting public opinion drives all their decisions, what do we need these "representatives" and "leaders" for?
@Uhnnohn yes, please and thank you!
@Skepticat @NoOneSpecial1 Thanks, anyway!
@Skepticat @NoOneSpecial1 Any chance you could share another one, please?

The Good in Us by Mary L. Trump
@TomSullivan The glories of the "free" market!
@protecttruth Please share with Coach Tommy Tuberville.
@sethcotlar Isn't it interesting that the good senator's campaign site doesn't mention his history degree from Stanford, nor that his law degree was obtained at Yale? He names his Missouri high school, though.
@protecttruth @Dahlialith Yes, it really is that simple. It's about the need for a "well regulated militia" that cannot be denied arms by a federal government. It's not about citizens needing to take up arms against the government. The whole point was that a standing army would not be necessary if a "well regulated militia" were available. Not that everyone should be armed with military assault weapons, but that the "well regulated militia" rights to such arms would not be infringed upon.
@Popehat I've had this problem for at least as long as I can remember!
