Can you imagine a scenario where sacrificing some democratic principles could lead to a greater good?
@9JNZ6P33mos3MO
Sacrificing things that has a bigger value may help other people.
@9JP2VYF3mos3MO
I cannot imagine a time where we'd need to sacrifice democracy, what our country stands on for the greater good. If we turn away from some of democracies principles, then we are turning away from all, and that is not what our country is built on.
@9JP2C673mos3MO
Very few scenarios but, it would not be worth losing democracy over.
@9JNZ8Z23mos3MO
yes, i believe if we all want to be happy some may have to suffer a bit, but as long as its equal its okay.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Under what circumstances, if any, would you not speak out against something you believe is wrong?
@9JP4F6H3mos3MO
I would only not speak out if it was necessary for the complete betterment of the United States and the consequences of speaking out out weigh that of remaining silent.
@9JP4G453mos3MO
If I am captured by a fascist dictator and threatened.
@9JP4DNG3mos3MO
I'd only not speak out if it will personally harm me in a really severe way.

In what ways do you think government intervention in the economy should be balanced with free-market principles?
@9LDQ6SG1mo1MO
I think the government should step in to stop monopolies
@9LDQDHJ1mo1MO
I think the government should be the protector or defender of the economy, but let the economy be open and free.
@9LFCLS5Republican1mo1MO
I think that we the government has the biggest say in helping out environment and making people aware, but we all deserve the rights to do things for ourselves.

How do you feel when you think of one person having control over many—is it reassuring or unsettling?
@9KG5FCN3mos3MO
This paper's central concern is with signs of fascism in recent political developments in a number of European countries and the United States.
@9KG5M7R3mos3MO
I can see it both ways but overall feel like we need people to know whats going on in our country and having specific people who are educated on these topics are important.
@9KJQ9NF2mos2MO
Trump Is a big concern for me when I think about"Fascism" just because he does abuse his power and it's very unsettling.

@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Is there ever a time when the suppression of opposition is necessary for a country's survival?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How do you feel about the role of government in maintaining order versus respecting individual freedoms?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Which do you value more in a leader: the ability to unite people under a common cause or to encourage diverse ideas?
@9HVMNMR4mos4MO
The ability to encourage diverse ideas, simply because forcing people to all adhere to one idea point has never quite worked.
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO

@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Can a balance be struck between achieving national objectives and maintaining personal freedoms?
@9L6FBZC2mos2MO
no we are having too many freedoms taken away (womens healthcare)
@9L6FPLFRepublican2mos2MO
Yes, it is possible. It involves ensuring that the government acts within limited constraints to prevent overreach while upholding individual self-determination and rights, as well as promoting civic virtues for societal happiness.
