Yet a few more “bad apples”

In France, for example, the country riots when they raise tuition a few percent, or if they raise retirement age 2 years. There is no such widespread pushback in the US for issues of far greater concern, because as you said, you’ve been trained to understand that your protest may be deemed illegal. Your FTFY can be summarised into “we’ve been trained”

You’re forgetting that modern conservative political parties have no platform that actually addresses the needs of our time. As a larger percentage of voters become downtrodden, value signalling and virtue signalling is no longer enough to secure victory for the business owners and 1%ers. They need to add “boots on the ground” initiatives to get the votes. The old favourites are highways and tough-on-crime. They’re essentially returning to the empty pantry over and over looking for something to eat. A four laner from Wh. To Tau. would take 8 years just to sort out land rights. This is just National throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. The NLTF as it is can barely support road required maintenance and renewal. I suspect the National supporters who like this plan are the same people that complain about potholes.

This is like asking for people who don’t like breathing. Humans are wired to enjoy their own farts. But “enjoy” is a bit of a misnomer. In reality when huffing your own fart, the brain is sampling composition via the nose, and this then affects food cravings and appetite. This is a feedback loop that improves our diets.
