I decided I was done after Toy Story 3. It did a good job of wrapping up the story and I just didn't feel the need to go beyond it. It's like if they made a sequel to Return of the Jedi or Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I still haven't seen Toy Story 4, and likely never will.

I'm not the person you were originally replying to, but I think laws should be put in place to prevent extremist parties from being put on the ballot at all. Germany has the right idea.
But failing that, if a democratically-elected government comes to power and then proceeds to dismantle democracy, then it is in the most literal sense a tyrannical government, and tyrants must be overthrown by any means necessary.
This is at best a deeply naive take.
Either we believe in the democratic process or not. And let’s be clear, the democratic process means that if a majority votes for a tyrant, then democracy is working as intended. Using violence to avert such a result is inherently anti democratic.

Bottom line: democracy has limits when it comes to groups that would dismantle democracy, even if they are voted in, because if elected, no one would ever have a voice again. Likewise, a free and fair society must be intolerant of intolerance.
Nothing will happen. He will not abandon them. What does abandon even mean, stop selling them weapons? Yeah right
They're waiting for the rest to starve to death.
The average immigrant from Guatemala has had about 2-4 years of school in their entire life. They don't speak English and will never be fluent. There a decent chance they're not even literate in Spanish.
Now imagine who you have to be for that person to be a threat to your job.
Trump is totally trying to steal their plane
I saw it in the theater, and I'd give it a C. I didn't love it or hate it, but I only laughed out loud a couple times. There were times when it felt more Ren & Stimpy than Looney Tunes. Maybe that's a positive for some folks, in which case you might enjoy it more than I did.
It's just not interesting for anyone else to read. The majority of us just want to keep up to date with video game news and occasionally discuss it. We aren't interested in taking up the cause.
Down voters of this rule should really just unsubscribe and move along.
This likelihood makes me more angry than nearly anything else he's done. Unlike most other changes this cruel buffoon has made, selling off our land to private industry is permanent.
Where other people would look upon the majesty of public lands in awe, he only sees a wasted opportunity to make money. This cancer on our society has a voracious black hole where his heart would be. He is incurious, stupid, and utterly devoid of any values.
Do us all a favor and just walk into the ocean until you can't see land.
This was exactly how it was in the US until the 1883 Pendleton Act, which created the civil service. It was called the spoils system (as in "to the victor go the spoils"). Nominees were primarily awarded their positions out of loyalty or patronage than merit.
The 19th century sucked in a lot of ways, and government corruption and economic incompetence was a part of that. Welcome to the 19th century.
