Three-quarters of Americans say they oppose the US attempting to take control of Greenland, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, indicating that President Donald Trump’s push to expand America’s territory faces stiff headwinds with the public.
Summary: Republicans are 50/50, everyone else is strongly opposed.
If only there was a system of government where the people could make decisions.
Ahh, that would be too cumbersome when the number of people got to big, so maybe there could be a smaller group of people who are chosen to best represent those people’s choices.
Ahh, but once again that would leave idiots who could be swayed too easily making choices based on populism. Maybe if we added another smaller group of people to check that group to make sure the peoples will was not misguided.
That sounds difficult. Let’s just give one person all the power so there isn’t any time wasted on disagreement.
Also, this would be a big burden on a random person so let’s just give it to someone who really, really wants the power. Then, they can teach their replacement how to wield that power. That takes decades, so it should probably be someone close to them, like maybe their kid!
