You can represent your own citizens or you can represent the interests of a foreign nation.

I’m still not sure how swearing fealty to another country isn’t political suicide.

From a more sad perspective, that could be because Democrats today are almost indistinguishable from what Republicans were decades ago. Remember that Nixon created the EPA and desegregated schools. Today they would pillory any Republican that even thought about doing something like that.

Does the number of electoral votes go down, though? It would likely violate many state constitutions, but the state governments could just assign all of their electoral votes without having an election to decide them. This is all unconstitutional anyway.

I was a scout in the US as a kid and am a leader now and this is the first time I’ve ever heard that there is any connection between the scouts and the government.

Nothing about what they’re doing resembles anarchy. It’s straight autocracy.

They are supposed to be in different tents with different bathing facilities. They can be in the same sites.

This isn’t true either. There are rules about leaders of the same gender as the scouts present in certain situations, and separation in tents and bathroom/shower situations, but dens and patrols can be mixed gender
