"In the 1964 election, Mr. Gottward only got electoral votes in six states, which was completely unacceptable to us girls...... Now it seems that it is not so much that I can't accept the Republican election defeat, but that I can't face my 'defeat' – I put in a lot of energy and enthusiasm and nothing back. For adolescent girls, it is probably the most brutal blow in the world. ”

"No, I think the biggest blow is being snatched away from my boyfriend by my best friend," Edward joked.

"It's a pity," Silari shrugged, "I haven't tasted the blow you mentioned, and normally, I'm the ...... of the 'Bichi'"

"It's the greatest affirmation of your charm," Edward smiled.

This was not a compliment, but after a few cups of special adjustment, Cilerie began to let go.

Speech is no longer formal, and speech and demeanor are also lively.

It reminded him of her in a miniskirt at Woodstock, and the two big white legs resting on his shoulders.

Well, it does feel good, and if you change the way you carry it, it will probably be more comfortable.

And at that time, the two parties were in close contact, and her sense of smell had always been healthy, and she didn't smell any of the sea, which means that she should be quite healthy, which is also good news.

He didn't drink less, and while persuading the other party to drink more, he definitely had to lead by example, and now he felt that he was feverish.

"Mr. Gottward, who was a pilot in the Army Air Corps during the war, flew a variety of planes between the United States and the United States, passing through the Azores, the abandoned, South America, Nigeria and Central Africa, and even flying over the summit of the Himalayas to transport supplies to China."

"After the war, he remained in the reserve forces and was eventually discharged with the rank of major general."

At the stage of being elected to the Senate, he voted against Congressional motion of censure against McCarthy. It's not surprising that, as a conservative, he's certainly not going to condemn such behavior, although not as messy as McCarthy. He was nicknamed Mr. Conservative, and it was aptly called. ”

"Ha," Edward sneered, "yes, "A Conservative's Conscience" sells very well. ”

"Yes, we've all read this book, and my father is especially fond of it."

"Actually, I'm quite impressed," Edward shrugged, "Mr. Gottward really has a knack for speaking."

As he spoke, he began to recite the famous sayings: "Extreme is not evil in the defense of freedom, and moderation is not good in the pursuit of justice."

If that's a human statement, things like, "I sometimes think that it would be better for this country if we sawed off the east coast of the United States and let it float away," apparently at the cost of off some people to please the others, and doomed the dude to defeat in the election.

Or that the ad called "Daisy" just takes advantage of this guy's open-mouthedness and cleverly introduces the concept of a slippery slope fallacy to mislead citizens into thinking that once the Republicans come to power, it will be World War III.

The Democrats' strategy has succeeded, and it has succeeded in bringing the rhythm of the majority of the electorate.

But in reality?

Gottwald is belligerent, or he has always been extremely tough in words.

But as soldiers who have seen blood, they tend to be more cautious in the face of war than civilian politicians.

This is especially true of the Republican Party, which often puts forward a variety of retired senior generals to run for election.

Gottward was one, and George Wallace's partner in '68 was Curtis Emerson Lemay, who was famous for burning Tokyo, and before that, there was Alhower, a retired five-star general who was a World War II meritorious officer.

As for the fact that there are more veterans on Capitol Hill, it is strange that the Republican Party, which seems to be more iron-blooded, appears to be very "peaceful" in foreign policy, threatening and cursing economic sanctions, but rarely waging war.

On the contrary, the Democratic administration appears to be very expert in foreign war.

"yes, now that I think about it, it's ridiculous that I was so confused by those words."

"Who hasn't been young? Who hasn't been stupid? ”

"Yes, in college, I reflected on these questions, and I decided to go to Yale Law School."

"I think the law is ultimately for people, and that's where my interest lies, and I want to use the law to serve people and the country, rather than just doing legal scholarship."

This is said very cleverly, and the subtext is that I don't want to stay in law school for the rest of my life, and I have to rely on my lawyer's license to make my way around.

I have the law in the world, I can run for president when I enter, and I can practice on my own when I retire, which is indeed the best license in the United States.

This is in stark contrast to Rushberg, who has always believed that the college campus is her final destination and is willing to dedicate her life to the study of law.

Roseberg can be said to be a top barrister, you can guess her style in the courtroom by looking at her style in class, after all, as a teacher, she loves her students, but in this way, the rate of suicidal thoughts among her students is probably the highest in Yale.

If she completely concentrates her firepower on her opponent in court, she is afraid that the lawsuit will not be over, and the latter will have to go to a psychiatrist.

However, Yale Flower does not like to appear in court.

In her words, "I love and am obsessed with making weapons, but I don't want to go into the field with a gun, and too stupid opponents will make me doubt my choices." My life shouldn't be wasted on the idiots on the other side. If the law allows, I'd rather use a knife one-on-one with the opposing lawyer to solve the problem, so as to ensure efficiency and clear the fools in the legal team. ”

That's the secret of Yale's flower being so popular on campus, she's so cool.

……

"Actually, when I entered college, I was exposed to more Democrats, and I began to look at my own problems."

"The reason why my father became a Republican, I think a lot is because of ......" Silari obviously drank too much, her face turned red, and she began to dismiss her own Lao Tzu, obviously she was extremely dissatisfied with the patriarchal oppression, and at this moment she had to punch out her anger, which is human nature.

Edward deeply understood that the core of the civil rights movement was equality, gender equality, racial equality, and orientation equality.

As a country founded by the Puritans, the discrimination against women because of religious factors is actually very serious, and the civil rights movement can develop vigorously in the 60s, so it naturally has its suitable social soil and social environment.

He had a heartfelt respect for these civil rights activists and a sympathetic attitude toward the struggle against patriarchal oppression.

"He was a small factory owner, so he was extremely contemptuous of unions, opposed most government aid programs, and strongly condemned high tax ......"

"Wait, wait," Edward was stunned, "Isn't this the main demand of the Democratic Party?" (The Democratic Party of this period)

"Yes," said a mocking look on Syrare's face, "in '47 he tried to enter politics and ran for Chicago City Council as a pro-Democrat nonpartisan. At that time, he pandered to the Democratic political machine led by the young Richard Daly. ”

He always thought that his probability of winning was not small, after all, he did well in the Navy during World War II, which in itself deserves praise, and his business after retirement is also doing well. It seems that he can be a representative of a class. Although he leans towards the Democrats, he runs in the election as a non-partisan person, and apparently he has his own ideas"

"Uh......" Edward scratched his head, he could guess what Celerie was thinking.

As long as you think you are a member of a certain party and then go to the local party headquarters to go through the registration procedures, you are considered a member of the party.

In the absence of a threshold for joining the party, the elder Rodham chose to run for the city council election as a non-party person, which obviously has deeper considerations.

He's going to show the Democrats what he's capable of, and by running and winning, he says, "Hey, look at my strength, I'm so much better than you think." ”

Then you can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for the price to sell.

If the head of the grassroots party department of the Democratic Party is proficient in Sinology and is familiar with the classical Chinese literature "The Historical Legend of the Three Countries", he will inevitably perform a drama of the villa and warmly and sincerely invite Mr. Hugh Rodham to join the Democratic Party and make unremitting efforts to build a great capitalist thousand-year-old empire.

The mocking look on Syrare's face became thicker and thicker, and the corners of her mouth began to bend down unconsciously, looking a little more mature, "He even wanted to be a member of the machine, but the Democratic regular army candidate made a mess of him in the race, and the almost humiliating defeat made him completely understand the rules of this world." ”

After this failed attempt, his personality became more and more extreme, mocking the Democrats all the time and expressing his contempt for them. Mostly at the dinner table, of course. And forced us to listen. ”

"When the TV station broadcasts the quadrennial Republican ******, he will force us to watch it."

"Conversely, when the Democratic convention is broadcast, the television is turned off."

"My mother had nine siblings, and my grandmother was fifteen when she was born, so you can imagine a hard life after that, right? So, my mother was very tenacious, she loved us kindly, and I don't know what it would be like without her. ”

……

Outside the window, a blizzard was howling.

The terrain of the United States is actually not good.

Although there are many plains, water resources are also abundant.

But the direction of the mountains is very problematic.

The majestic Rocky Mountains on the West Coast and the Alabachi Mountains on the East Coast stretch almost through North America, protecting the vast plains in between like sandwiches.

In spring, summer and autumn, there is not much of a problem, and even the mountains can block some typhoons from the sea, so that they will not drive straight into the interior area to cause damage.

But when it comes to winter, this terrain is simply a disaster within a disaster.

First, two mountain ranges block the warm and humid air currents from the ocean.

The cold air mass from Siberia can be driven straight into it without hindrance.

With the blessing of the two mountain ranges, the wind effect has been formed at this moment, and as long as the lung capacity of the cold air mass is sufficient, then it is almost impossible to step on the brakes from the northernmost state of North Dakota to Texas, which is adjacent to Mexico.

So when the sun is already shining on the beaches of California, it is normal for the central region of the same latitude to be minus 10 degrees.

In the summer, on the other hand, a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean Sea begins to take off, bypassing the Alabachi Mountains from below, striking the Central Plains with a beautiful left hook, and then counterattacking all the way to greet the people of the north.

China, which also has a huge land area and crosses multiple temperature zones, is not so unlucky.

In winter, cold air originating in the Arctic invades the Siberian plateau and then skips the Mongolian plateau, when the cold begins to feel in the north.

But the south can make do, if the cold air is powerful enough to climb through the Qinling Mountains, it can gush out from several passes and raid Jiangnan.

By the time it was time to enter Lingnan, it was basically spring......

In the summer, the first island chain used to blockade China became a typhoon barrier......

The hegemon of the Pacific roared by, leaving Japan and a certain island devastated, and by the time they landed on the mainland, although the power was still huge, the damage had decreased considerably.

Therefore, the two large agricultural countries that face each other from a distance across the Pacific Ocean are envious of each other.

China's "Lao Mei you dog's day, occupy such a good land, a country by two oceans, left and right ventilation, the middle is all the great plains, the paradise of mechanized agriculture, look at me here, all Tmd fragmented arable land, even terraces such a man-made wonder can be made, and Lao Tzu also likes to farm. If I had your agricultural conditions, tsk......"

Mi Guo: "I'll go to your uncle's!" Don't just watch thieves eat meat, don't you see thieves being beaten? Lao Tzu, is it easy for me, the cold wind blows all the way from the throat to the chrysanthemum in winter, and the typhoon arches all the way from the chrysanthemum to the throat in summer. And when you open your eyes, you have been active in human activity since prehistory, and you have been the world's most populous country since the feudal era. Our New World is not a tribe of Indians who are not at all...... Do you know why there are so few people? Without large-scale electrified communications, mechanized agricultural machinery, and the blessing of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, this land simply cannot feed so many of you! Be content, you guys! ”

Having said that, if the efficiency of the civil servants of the Mi government can be one-tenth as fast as that of the cold snap, then probably the Mi people have already established a colony on the moon.

Chicago is nicknamed Windy City, because it is located on the wind outlet, and the wind blows all year round, and it is common to have extremely low temperatures of minus 20 degrees Celsius in winter.

Snowy winters are also a sight to behold in Chicago.

Silari looked at the goose feather snow fluttering outside the window, and was a little stunned for a moment.

Edward stood up and sat down beside her.

She didn't react.

Someone naturally reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, "Are you homesick?" ”
