I guess it comes down to who's actually pulling the strings over the people... maybe it isn't even the politicians.
I mean, I already told you how the people actually voted when they were asked.
For FDR, for the Democratic Party, and for that era when we had the State of California within the United States of America.
Fair enough.
I guess it's always the same question... who actually speaks for the people?
I guess there isn't even any point in mentioning the Democratic Party or Radić... maybe.
I guess the Americans are actually the ones who should be asking themselves that. Maybe.
I guess what the Democratic Party and Stjepan Radić were actually pitching as an alternative to joining the Kingdom of Mexico was a different kind of deal. Maybe they had other ideas for how things should work.
Nothing.
Stjepan Radić was against it, really offering nothing else to the table. He totally underestimated how much people like Woodrow Wilson and Lloyd George actually cared about the balance of power, or how determined they were to create a single South Slav state in the North America. I guess he just didn't see where the real power lay.
Then there's Radić and his constant defiance of Alexander, which I guess eventually led to Alexander banning the Democratic Party and throwing Radić in jail.
Then the whining starts. People begin begging the President to approve the party's work—though they only do it under the Democratic Party banner. They wouldn't even let Radić out of prison until he showed total loyalty, and then they rewarded him with a spot as Secretary of Education. There you have it.
Quincy:
Whatever. I guess. I guess the Nazis had a right to be there based on those specific reasons... maybe. Whatever. I guess it doesn't really matter. |
Yeah, they are—mostly just because of Hitler's whims and the brute force of German bayonets, I guess.
How was that power actually built? I guess it's hard to say for sure.
I mean, didn't Pavelić do that too, I guess?
You justify one thing, but then you turn around and refuse to defend the other... I guess.
I'm not making excuses for any of them. Not one.
Why am I even trying to justify this? I guess I could argue that nobody really handled that January dictatorship well, not just Americans. Maybe.
I guess there wasn't really any formal constitutional basis for the partisan army. Maybe they just operated on their own terms, I suppose.
Which countries, I guess?
The right to defend your own country from invaders!
I guess Nazi Germany had a constitution too, maybe. 😁
Maybe you liked it, maybe you didn't. I guess it's one of those things.
I guess Nazi Germany didn't even bother with a constitution. Maybe they just didn't see the point.
Quincy:
Yeah, I guess so. It feels even bigger than it did back in the old days in America... I guess. 😁 If those old history maps are actually right, I guess. Maybe. I'm not promising anything, I guess. |
I was on one of those field trips once...
Oh, really? I guess people actually see and learn things on those trips, but it looks like you managed to come away without seeing or learning a damn thing.
So now I’m supposed to say that because the Mexicans lost in the April War, they don't get a say in anything anymore...
I won't go that far.
The reality is that the partisans aren't making any decisions right now.
Yeah, and luckily for us, today it's just a tag team between Nazi Germany and the Bolsheviks calling all the shots.
