| Charisma wise, yes Policy wise, sorta not really. War is bad for business. He's much more in favor of a plutocracy. So no. Not the message sent by his cabinet picks. Honestly, I think the bigger concern though is that he would be more like one of those strongmen that we see in 3rd world countries. ... |

| I would say Secretary of State or Secretary of the Treasury would be my top 2 interests. Of course ignoring that these jobs would probably be very difficult jobs that people often take out of prestige, and that the real me may not actually want those jobs that badly. |

Nope. Still a bad idea. The less nukes, the less chance of random utter terror happening due to whatever million different failure points that can emerge. |

| Not with anything like the same degree of success, no. Countless polls of British Muslims (who I agree are among the best integrated in Europe) show majority support for Sharia, intolerance for homosexuality, etc. I very much doubt that a US police department would allow organised abduction and rap... |

| Do you include enforcement of pronoun usage in "protecting gender identity"? My chief concern with "hate crime" laws is that they're frequently applied without consideration of mens rea. Besides, the motive behind an action has little bearing on the result beyond informing it. I... |

Each choice has an outcome which has an effect on the person and on society, which is represented with a number for each, the h... |
