Early last week, I was at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library for its first weekend. At the library itself, despite President Donald Trump inserting himself incongruously into the opening ceremonies, I did not see a single person sporting a Trump-branded clothing item.

The town of Medora, North Dakota, itself was, however, a different story. It wasn’t overwhelming. But for someone who lives in an urban center of a blue state, where even in the ruby red rural areas most people have become sufficiently shamed to shut up about their MAGA tendencies, a single errant MAGA cap is a rarity.

So sanctioning is basically a big government version of a boycott, cutting the us off from money. Like, not buying bonds and whatever, not trading, etc. Asking people to do that isn't the same as asking people to come over and fix the problem, it's asking people to not help the problem.

You're scorning people who want out, but then saying you'd be fine with minorites, who are most likely the people who are trying to get out. Also those monitors you listed are all the Americans you think so poorly of.

You can't say "fuckem all you fix it" while saying "well not all.... And I'm fine with my government getting your government fuck over the people I just omitted"

    It’s not an ask though, is it? It’s an expectation that we do something about it. They didn’t kindly ask me or my PM, they said it’s on us for not doing anything about it.

    That’s criticism and blameshitfting.

    It looks to me as if you think this should be shared out as well.

    Yeah fuckin oath I can say I’m happy to help those who can’t defend themselves and those who are able bodied, stay home. That’s helping those who need it and telling those who can fix their problem to stay and fix it. Absolutely it’s the able bodied ones wanting to run.
