@Vilageidiotx Too much freedom for the states.

Though it makes sense since they are states in a union, and not provinces.

Still it's a pretty shitty system, as POTUS barely has any power when it comes down to it.

@Buddha

Dictators need political capital too. The thing about the US is, it would take some fancy political footwork to do fascism or monarchism shit here no matter who you are because we don't have the same historical assumptions about ourselves that Europe does.

@Jotunn Draugr

It's not really a bad point if you don't look at it as preachy. If we had a White History Month, what would we talk about? The founding fathers? We already talk about them all the time. That we all used to be Europeans? The people who are interested in their European heritage also have found times to celebrate it, whereas most people aren't very interested. It's really common for my group, those descended from the original English colonists, to not identify as English at all, but as simply "American" since our culture is the template the rest was constructed on. Black History month isn't a particularly hardcore or invasive type of thing. Basically all it means is people occasionally bring up black historical figures that wouldn't usually get mentioned, and that seems like a pretty good deal as far as things go.

*POSITIVE* LGBT++ hangout, anybody? *CIS/STRAIGHT WELCOME TOO* :D

The political capital for that broad of a law just doesn't exist. There are constitutional questions, and then questions that arise from the different constituent cultural regions country. A Kansas would want that law to protect religion and would want to obfuscate its protection of homosexuality, whereas the coast would flip it around exactly the other way.
