Liberal World Order?

My response to a very old video with problems that have already been solved.

Biden inherited the mess; he didn't create it. And I hardly think Biden would ever claim that we are entering a "new liberal world order." That is just stupid. This is just misinformation and fear-mongering.

What would this new liberal order look like? Universal Healthcare without bankruptcies like most Western nations already have? Free higher education? Living wages? An independent judicial system that is not dependent on fines and court fees?


How about ending Debtor's Prison (criminal contempt of court when you can't pay what collection agencies demand)?


Fewer for-profit charter schools that teach whatever they want by people without any teaching credentials to students handpicked to exclude difficult (less-profitable) children? The charter system that leaves public schools with increased expenses with a budget that pays a set amount per pupil, now with fewer students?


How about that liberal idea of clean water, air, and soil?


Things like not making optional the upgrades needed to change the civil-war era braking systems on freight trains so more communities are not wiped off the map in preventable tragedies?


How about that liberal notion of letting people be themselves instead of trying to cram them into an inaccurate binary gender classification system?


An end to the sacrosanct modern revision of the Second Amendment so AR-15s are not in the hands of criminals and the mentally ill. (The militia referred to in the actual wording of the Second Amendment is today's National Guard.)


All of this gets lost when liberalism is defined by guns (Stand-Your-Ground, no restrictions), religion (freedom only for Christians), and abortion (the Fourteenth Amendment that underpins so many other rights having been declared irrelevant by today's Supreme Court).


Where does the third K go when spelling Kentucky?
