I guess you haven't seen Top Gun: Maverick yet?
The Republicans have spent 8 years purging the party of all non-MAGA members. Congress struggles to do anything against the will of Trump. I can hardly imagine it would get a ⅔ majority to overturn a veto.
China buys American food, I think.
Citizens United wasn't legislation, it was a Supreme Court decision. The only way to fix it following the current rules is to ask the court again or to change the Constitution. Of course, if you are willing to just ignore laws then you have many options (see current Presidential administration for examples).
I mean, the stock market is still up 5% or so from a year ago. Which doesn't refute your point that it's disconnected from reality, but rather that the wealthy people are not exactly suffering due to a single day or even a few weeks of market losses.
Sort of like Sulla or Caesar, but without the talent?
I am quite sure. I was out with a friend and he got fined for not carrying ID. The legal requirement starts at 16.
Both true and not true.
The idea that you have to register to vote is not normal in most democracies.
For example, in the Netherlands you have to carry ID at all times, whether you are voting or just going for a walk. You don't have to register to vote, you just get mail a while before the election with a paper that you take to the voting booth, which is usually a few minutes walk away.
Such a system prevents fraud (which is already a non-issue in the USA, even with its confusing and difficult system), and also makes it easy for as many people to vote.
The goal of voter ID laws is to provide ways to disenfranchise people, by making things slightly harder and create plausible points to not count some ballots.
Not only, since TERFs exist.
