How Government Works


“Democrats have control, so let’s see what they can do with it,” Nixon said. "Let’s compromise, let’s work together. In order to run a self-sufficient government, you have to compromise.” [More]

He clearly doesn't understand. They take some of what's yours but not all.  Next time they take a bit more. See? "Compromise."

And as for sovereign immunity being"complicated," it's not. A monopoly of violence can do whatever it wants to you without consequence. What could be simpler?

Would he have been in favor of a compromise wherein the Allies allowed the Third Reich to exterminate 3 million Jews, and 10 million Russians, Slavs, and Gypsies?

Would he have been happy if Lincoln only freed half of the slaves?

I read it as Nixon demanding that the Democrats compromise something they want, for a change. Hey, I’m happy to have this guy. Most activists who have family killed surrender to their feelz and go full Hogg. This guy understands that government is the problem, not guns.

Of course, Democrats are interested in compromise only when they’re in the minority. When they’re in the majority, it’s always “shove it down our throats time” and “elections have consequences.” And this month’s Virginia is a classic example of how they govern.
