  • Washington was totally still alive for the creation of the Federalist and Democratic-Republican parties.

    Historian Richard Hofstadter wrote that the Founders "did not believe in parties as such, scorned those that they were conscious of as historical models, had a keen terror of party spirit and its evil consequences", but "almost as soon as their national government was in operation, [they] found it necessary to establish parties."

  • Believe it or not, the Republican Party began its journey to where it is today as a progressive party.

    In 1854, the Republican Party emerged to combat the expansion of slavery into western territories after the passing of the Kansas–Nebraska Act. The early Republican Party consisted of northern Protestants, factory workers, professionals, businessmen, prosperous farmers, and after the Civil War also of black former slaves.

    It has changed a lot over the years, tiny steps, usually occuring after passage of various civil rights acts. If you want to know more I suggest you read about Senator Strom Thurmond, The Dixiecrat Revolt, and Reconstruction

    Maybe I read it wrong, and I don't care.

    You asked why they turned it off in some states in the US and not the EU, I have my opinion, you seem to disagree, and that's ok.

  • What are those consequences? 1 fine?

    The US states are using CIVIL law, meaning every single parent in the state could take them to court. This could bankrupt these companies in no time. This decision was probably made by an accountant.

  • Where are all the fiscal conservatives losing their minds over this?

    Where are all the guys that point at the stock market and blame the president?

    I can't help but feel that all the television networks and Washington posts of the world would be losing their collective minds if anybody but a republican was in power.

    Legalize and control all recreational drugs?

  • Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2001.

    This new approach focused on public health as opposed to public-order priorities by decriminalizing public and private use and possession of all drugs

    The number of drug related deaths has reduced from 131 in 2001 to 20 in 2008.[33] As of 2012, Portugal's drug death toll sat at 3 per million, in comparison to the EU average of 17.3 per million, as one of the lowest drug-related death rates in the EU.[33] This reduction has decreased in later years. The number of drug related deaths is now almost on the same level as before the drug strategy was implemented.[20][28] However, this may be accounted for by improvement in measurement practices, which includes a doubling of toxicological autopsies now being performed, meaning that more drugs related deaths are likely to be recorded.[34]

  • But realistically this doesn’t do anything you couldn’t do with parental controls that are already available in every modern OS.

    Big Agree.

    I give no fucks about the technicalities. These bills should not exist. Pretending that it will be easy to bypass, or that "Its not technically validation" is a garbage take.
