‘It is not sustainable for a democracy’: Tighter security likely at political events after shooting at Trump rally
New security measures could include wider perimeters to check for weapons, a heavier law enforcement presence, and greater use of unmanned drones to assist with surveillance, according to Ed Davis, a former Boston police commissioner.

It absolutely is not sustainable, that's true. Something's gotta give. We have fundamentally different, diametrically opposed visions for what we want America to be. That has to be resolved, one way or another. Either one vision wins out over the other, we try to find a compromise between the two visions, or we break apart and go our separate ways. The way I see it, those are our options. Unless there's some other option I'm not seeing?
What would a compromise even look like, and who would be willing to accept it? Stuff like "the president can be a dictator, but only on even numbered days" certainly won't fly with me.
We're past compromise. You don't compromise with Nazis.
Yeah but violence against Nazis is bad now?
It always has been. Fascist protests and rallies are protected by police under the umbrella of free speech but as you've seen the protests of students against Israel or fascists are put down.
Always punch nazis. They are literal scum of the world.
Well, who decides the even numbers? Do weeks start on Monday or Sunday? Do arrays start with 0 or 1?!?! Maybe they should have a subcommittee get to the bottom of it.
That's a good question. I'm not sure what a compromise would look like, assuming it's even possible.
The goal was to reduce the power of the federal government, now everyone is on board with that. Now businesses only have to deal with state regulations instead of federal, and states are much easier to control/fight. All of this culture war crap was just a way to get people to fight for deregulation.
Partition the country, it's too big as-is
