My googling says the US spent/185b on the DHS for this year and has 100b for FY2024, which includes the stupid mexico wall. I’m sure there would be more things to deal with not included in that number and it would take time to transition, but any reduction is a positive gain if you ask me.
Would be neat if they found a way to only spend like 200 billion a year (the GDP of Hungary and as much as the second biggest military spender) on the people grinder.
Always treat a firearm as if it’s loaded. Never let the muzzle point at anything that you are not willing to destroy. Only put your finger on the trigger if you’re about to shoot. Be sure of your target and that there’s nothing behind it.
Don’t put words in my mouth. If what you took from the last however many comments is that I’m saying “voting useless”, I don’t think you’re qualified to have this conversation in the first place.
But to answer your question, they will bend whatever laws they have to to keep themselves in power. I don’t know why you thought that showing an example of how fucked the US voting system is is a point in favor of it.
I sincerely doubt they’ll change past what their owners allow them to. Maybe that’s a step towards actual change but it’s certainly not enough by itself.
I agree with everything you just said but I don’t think either big US party can be reformed to serve people instead of capital. Whichever organizing done by people, through the the voting system or otherwise, will fall flat if allowed to be co-opted by them, the two party system ensures it.
