In terms of antisemitism, all I did in an ad was pointed out that Josh is going around saying he's got the Bible in one hand and the constitution in the other. But he's Jewish,” Pukita said. “Everybody should know that though, right?
People think Trump was a good Christian somehow, I think a Jewish person is probably more 'christian' than Trump ever was. lol

It's a miracle that our system, which has basically gone out of control everywhere it's been tried, has survived so long here; relative power and wealth is a hell of a thing. A fun alternate history would be a look at US culture following reabsorption and subsequent rebellion into and against the British Empire. Maybe we could get the Slavery Question to blow up both countries (for the better).
I've always thought that the biggest miracle in the experiment that is the US is that it even lasted the first 50 years. After the debacle that was the Articles of Confederation it's amazing that everyone was brought on board for the new Constitution instead of just half the States going their own way. It's amazing that the War of 1812 didn't shatter the US and it's amazing that the civil war was delayed as long as it was, any earlier than the 1830s-1840s and the Union would surely have shattered.
