What will democrats do if republicans manage to pull off a super majority in the house and senate in 2022 and win the presidency in 2024?
Sorry, I don't understand the question. What will the Democrats do? Alternatively, based on the follow-up, what will I do? In terms of the latter, I work in politics on the Republican side,... Society & Politics
Has military power become a secondary criterion for defining power?
No, the question suggests a slightly nuanced misreading of history. In reality, military power, once upon a time, was the standard by which economic power was judged because the idea of the... Society & Politics
Is abortion murder?
Given that a being is a human being from the moment of conception, then yes, it logically must be murder. Which indeed is why the courts and the law tied themselves up in knots when Roe v. Wade... Society & Politics
Why do Americans call the Seven Years' War "French and Indian War"?
This will be a quick answer. Yes, it is kind of unusual that the 7 Years War is called, by Americans, the "French and Indian War." However, the reason is pretty forward. Specifically,... Society & Politics
With the seemingly increasing division within the US, do you think a civil war will occur? What would this look like exactly?
The United States is quite divided, but a little historical perspective helps. In truth, we've been here before. In the 1960s and 70s, we had an era of race riots, a low intensity war, campus... Society & Politics
Can someone explain the Roe vs Wade to a Non American?
Roe v. Wade was a ruling by the US Supreme Court made in 1973 that made abortion a constitutional right, thereby overriding the individual laws on abortion in the 50 states. Up to that ruling,... Society & Politics
So will liberals finally get off their as*es for the Midterms?
It is not likely. While the abortion issue has recently generated headlines and protests, as a general rule it is not a primary motivator in elections for other than a small segment of voters. As... Society & Politics
What do you know about Korea War in 1950?
The Korean War was fought from June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953. It is generally seen, at least in the popular mind, as the opening salvo in the diplomatic, economic, ideological and occasionally... Society & Politics
When does human life begin?
Logically it must be at the moment of conception. A thing cannot be other than what it is. When a human egg and a human sperm meet, the only thing that will ever result is human. It will not... Society & Politics
Do you think Roe V Wade being overturned is going to lead to other rights being taken away, such as gay marriage for example?
Not likely. To start, the recent case on abortion includes a specific line that states that the opinion relates to abortion only and cites the reasons why abortion is unique. More... Society & Politics
Will the Killing of Roe v. Wade slow/stop the exodus of liberals from blue states to red states?
Probably not. In fact, most Americans, although they have an opinion on the issue of abortion, tend not to be that strongly opinionated about it. As one wag put it, "Americans are opposed to... Society & Politics
Do you think it would be a good thing if France disappeared as a nation?
The question is a bit too vague to answer. If France "disappeared"? "Disappeared" in what sense? Wiped out in a nuclear exchange? Subsumed in a European Union transformed into a "United... Society & Politics
Would you be happy to see America fall down or sad?
Voted B. Indeed, aside from the fact that as I am an American living in America and that such a fall would likely impact my life in a very negative way, it ignores what America has brought to the... Society & Politics
Is the Middle East an example to follow, by not allowing abortionist, feminist, LGBT and progressive movements to proliferate?
This is a short answer and an easy one. Of course not. However, not because the issues that the questioner cites are not controversial and involve important issues of philosophy and morality.... Society & Politics
Do Russia and China want to share world domination and put an end to "Western" domination?
The question is really two questions, with the second question being something of a misnomer. The first question being "do Russia and China want to share world domination." The answer to the... Society & Politics
What do you think is the cause of the rather extreme political divide and tribalism in the US and what do you think can better it?
To start, a little historical perspective helps. In truth, we've been here before. In the 1960s and 70s, we had an era of race riots, a low intensity war, campus radicalism, assassinations,... Society & Politics
Are politicians insensitive and immoral people?
On this one, I am going to answer on a personal level as I have worked over the course of my career for two United States Senators and four Members of the House of Representatives. You'll never... Society & Politics
Are Nazism and Fascism “left” ideologies?
First, to start, the terms "right," "left" and so forth, are not terribly helpful. The usage comes out of the French revolution, when supporters of a republic sat to the left of the Speaker's... Society & Politics
Many specialists say that Putin dreams of rebuilding the USSR, but isn't Putin's dream rather to rebuild the Russian empire of Pierre the Great?
This is a pretty quick answer. It has been well said that Vladimir Putin is a Russian nationalist with the sensibility of a KGB agent. Mr. Putin is not a communist. Communism being a... Society & Politics
Does Nationalism include a racial element?
Voted "No," though "In a way" might also work. The distinction being that there is a distinction between "nationality" and "race." Thus, for example, Germans, French, Italians, Spanish, Poles,... Society & Politics
