    If you were in charge, how would you propose we fix or address those issues?

    Send Trump in jail for his crimes and outlaw all the shady things he has done, and make laws against the false claims, without proof, that the Rep make daily

    The problem with laws is politicians, because politicians want power, they want all the power, they want much more power. Laws that pursue falsehood are a temptation for politicians, because leaving it in their hands to create laws that should decide what is true and what is a lie, what evidence has to be provided to prove the truth or falsehood of a publication. The idea was very good, but this idea given to politicians is very dangerous, because they will create a law that, having a good starting point, will end up corrupting the initial idea. Giving this power to a politician is giving him the power of censorship. Moreover, such a law would not put an end to any falsehood, it would still exist, but not in a public way and those people would consider themselves victims of that government and its laws and would turn them into fanatics of their ideas. Terrorists, for example, are persecuted by law, but they continue to exist underground and learn to communicate with each other without being identified.

    Instead of just tossing out a random question, how about you identifying some of them and giving us some proposed solutions?

    Pragmatism ought to be valued more than tribalism and bias.

    I'd say one of the biggest issues is parents not raising their kids correctly. They raise them with very little values and tell them they decide their gender and bs like that. If parents would actually teach children how to be functioning members of society rather than a woke activist they/them that accomplishes nothing, the U.S. as a whole would begin to improve drastically.

    equality issues tbh. There’s so many issues and with the bills going on for so many marginalized groups making it harder on them and as well as the recent bills for the LGBTQIA+ I am seriously worried about the way things are going to go. Especially as someone who is trans and asexual.
