The Tory was a fascinating person in American history. They trusted the hierarchy. They trusted centralized power. They trusted the system. They believed that the system was smarter than the people living under it. They endured abuse because they saw social compliance as a social virtue. They believed the system was wise, benevolent, and self-justifying, and above all, they feared disruption more than mediocrity.

They saw George Washington as an unhinged, wannabe dictator. “A pretender to greatness,”

“a proto-Caesar,” “a tyrant bound to turn his sword upon his own people,” “a deluded malcontent convinced he is the savior of America,” and a “dangerous egotist who’ll plunge the colonies into chaos.”


Without slapping labels or naming names. Analyze the mindset and the behaviors. The fear of change. The fear of freedom. A sort of political Stockholm syndrome, if you will.


They say history never repeats itself. Americans, is it rhyming today?

one can refer to Article V of the U.S. Constitution resources from the Library of Congress. 


why only there?

Nobody cares about cost of living because suburban dads and MAGA retarded young men don't like transgenders and base their vote on that. I don't know if you've noticed but serious political conversation doesn't really happen anymore.

Ensuring the right people are in charge is and will always be central to whether any country remains a legitimate democracy, that’s not avoidable


This is the most undemocratic claim in the entire list. How do you ensure that short of subverting the will of the people? The moment you start talking about ensuring the “right people” are in charge, you’re implying the existence of some unelected authority above the voters who decides what “right” means. That’s inherently anti-democratic. If your people vote for Trump, and the American people want to change the American constitution, that's democracy in action, not unconstitutional acts; otherwise, every American president ever elected who changed the constitution by the will of the voters would be labeled an "unconstitutional" president. Labeling those outcomes “unconstitutional” or “illegitimate” just because they upset the establishment narrative is how republics quietly slip into oligarchies. It succks to be in the minority, but that is your democratic system.

If you are using corporate welfare like Obamacare, farm subsidies, and Snap, it will never be enough for any color state. Purple welfare isn't sustainable. The issue isn’t generosity. The issue is poor design. Federal subsidies to corporations might keep people and industries afloat in the short term, but they also discourage states and individuals from becoming efficient. Whether you call it welfare for farmers, welfare for insurance companies, or welfare for families, it all bleeds the same color: royal purple, where corporate driven feudalism is making a strong comeback.

Not to mention parties drastically change ideologies like airport religions. I've heard it said many times that Trump is just a 90's Democrat, and today's American Democrat is all over the place wherever the wind takes them. Performative theater as a policy attracts fair-weather voters, and you never know when that snake might snack on the tail. Say what you will about Mamdani, but he channelled that 90's Democrat "I feel your pain" energy. It's the same energy that got Trump elected.

And Bill Gates basically stole billions of dollars in American government subsidies for green energy, only to come out recently and say "whoops, climate change isn't as important as other things"


They can keep that kind of "progress"

Women overwhelmingly vote more for violence, welfare, and for tyranny because biologically, those traits are preferrable in a mate (family protection, providing for the family, and projecting dominance). It's no surprise America's government skews that way because women live longer and thus have more votes. Power and dominance within the context and confines of an unfeeling government axiomatically descends into tyranny instead of actual security in the context of an emotionally invested family paradigm. Conversely, men will often vote to sacrifice personal comfort for the sake of the progeny of their children and wives because they are wired biologically to do so on the family level. That voting pattern skews toward more pragmatic leaders over emotional grifters in the government.


There are surprisingly many based American women who see this trend and actually regret the 19th amendment. This is just a humble observation about an evolutionary mismatch. America is a civilization expecting women to function like men under pressure with all the necessary sacrifices when their biological instincts and incentives evolved around cooperation, nurturing, and security.

At the time, actual kings and actual nobility by birth were a real thing, where special laws and rights applied.


Saying men were equal back then is the equivalent of Americans today saying, "No man is above the law."

You Americans think you have democratic socialism, but it's really corporate feudalism. The insurance companies themselves literally wrote all 10k pages of the "Obama" bill and subsequent regulations, paid directly to them from the hands of your serfs. That's why your American parties operate as one with red and blue because together, they form royal purple. That's America today. What a laugh to see you guys negotiate with the royal purples to "lower my cost of living"

You are lucky to get cake at this point.

There's a huge difference between a city that looks like London and a city that looks like a Texas city like Houston.


That kind of diversity is what leads to civil wars eventually because diverse cultures always compete for power. Your country might be better off splitting off into the USSA for your American socialists. Realistically, it already has in some of your states with one party rule. You should just formalize it and get it over before the violence starts. Well, before it gets worse than it currently is.
