The great 2020 election thread....

Two dotards pretending to be manly and mumbling about how things were better in their day will truly form a great contrast for the voters, yes.

(Yeah, putting Biden in there is the LEAST likely outcome to unseat trump. The 2% of people swayed by this sort of thing and not, y'know, baby prisons will see no difference and stay home.)

I would love to see that debate.

History is not just constant progress into the direction you want it, deal with it.

Alcohol prohibition ended and after everyone was sure that the Prussian Way will reign supreme there is a huge home schooling movement.

Well, we're doomed... Again...

It is well deserved.

Alcohol Prohibition was about as misguided of a development as Kony 2012.

"Conservative" women had a major role to play.

*does a quick refresher on the Prohibition movement*

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperance_movement
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Great_Awakening

Yup, mainly pushed by the ancestors of modern evangelicalism. Heck, here's this gem:
"The temperance movement itself was in decline as well: fundamentalist and nativist groups had become dominant in the movement, which led moderate members to leave the movement.[11]"

Turns out that Evangelicals are self-defeating extremists who care more about coercing people into their "religion" than affecting positive social change. Who could have guessed.

(This really is the actual difference between progressive movements and religiously movitivated movements in general. If your problem is public drunkenness, the question isn't "how can be force people not to drink", it's "why do people want to drink so much". Comprehensive understanding of the problem and a focus on harm-reduction first is key to effective social change.)
(That the answer to "why" keeps being "capitalism working as designed" is just the sign that we've been lax in devising the successor to capitalism.)
