Chapter 199 Are you homesick?

"In the 1964 election, Mr. Gottward only received electoral votes from six states, which made us girls completely unacceptable... It seems that it is not as good as saying that it is impossible to accept the failure of the Republican election, but rather that I cannot face my 'failure' - I have invested a lot of energy and enthusiasm, but I have not exchanged anything. For adolescent girls, it is probably the cruelest blow in the world."

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

"I'm sorry," Shireri shrugged, "I haven't tasted the blow you mentioned. Usually, I am the 'Bi Chi'..."

"This is the greatest affirmation of your charm," Edward smiled.

This is not a compliment. After a few special drinks were added, Silari began to let go.

He no longer speaks concisely, and his words and deeds become lively.

This made him think of the one she was wearing a miniskirt in Woodstock and the two big white legs resting on his shoulders.

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

Moreover, when the two parties were in close contact, their sense of smell was always healthy and they did not smell any of the sea, which meant that she should be quite healthy, which was also good news.

He also drank a lot. While advising the other party to drink more, he must set an example. Now he feels hot all over.

"Mr. Gottwald, during the war, was a pilot of the Army Air Force, flying various planes between the United States and once, and the route went through the Azores, was abolished, South America, Nigeria and Central Africa, and even leaped over the peaks of the Himalayas to transport supplies to China."

"After the war, he stayed in the reserve force and finally retired with the rank of major general."

"At the time of being elected to the Senate, he voted against Congress' motion to condemn McCarthy. It's not surprising that as a conservative, he certainly wouldn't condemn such behavior, although he was not as chaotic as McCarthy. His nickname was Mr. Conservative, and this is a very appropriate term."

"Ha," Edward sneered, "That's right, "A Conscience" sells very well."

"Yes, we've read this book, and my father especially admired it."

"Actually, I highly recommend it." Edward shrugged. "Mr. Gottward really has a good speech."

As he spoke, he began to recite the popular sayings: "Extreme is not evil in defending freedom, and mean is not good in seeking justice."

If this is still human words, then, "I sometimes think that it would be better for this country if I saw the east coast of the United States down and let it float away", obviously to please another part at the expense of angering some people, which doomed the man to lose the election.

Or the advertisement called "Daisy" happens to use this guy's mouth and cleverly introduces the concept of landslide fallacy to mislead citizens' judgments - making these simple people think that once the Republican Party comes to power, it will be World War III.

The Democratic Party’s strategy was successful, and it brought the rhythm of most voters.

But what about it?

It is true that Gottward is belligerent, or he has always been extremely tough in words.

But as a soldier who has seen blood, he is often more cautious than civilians and politicians when facing war.

This is particularly obvious in the Republican Party, which often introduces various retired senior generals to participate in the election.

Gottward is a partner of George Wallace in 1968. Curtis Emerson Limei, who is famous for burning Tokyo, and there is also five-star general Al Howell, who retired from World War II meritorious officer.

As for more retired soldiers in Capitol Hill, it is strange that the more iron-blooded Republican Party seems very "peaceful" in foreign policy, and there is no shortage of threats and curses about economic sanctions, but wars are rarely launched.

However, the Democratic government is very expert in foreign wars.

"Yes, now thinking about it, it's ridiculous that I was actually confused by these words at that time."

"Who has never been young? Who has never been stupid?"

"Yes, in college, I reflected on these issues, so I decided to take the Yale Law School."

"I think the law ultimately serves people, which is also my interest. I hope to use the law to serve people and the country rather than simply doing academic research on law."

This is said very cleverly, and the subtext is that you don’t want to stay in law school for the rest of your life, you have to rely on your lawyer’s license to make a fortune.

I have the best license in the United States.

This is in sharp contrast to Ruthberg, who always believes that the university campus is her ultimate destination and is willing to devote her entire life to legal research.

Ruthberg can be said to be a top barrister. You can guess her style in court by looking at her style in class. After all, as a teacher, she loves her students, but in this way, the rate of suicide thoughts among her students is probably the highest among all Yale.

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

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

In her words, "I love and be obsessed with making weapons, but I am unwilling to go on stage with a gun. Too stupid opponents will make me doubt my choices. My life should not be wasted on the idiots on the opposite side. If the law permits it, I would rather use a knife to solve the problem one-on-one with the other party's lawyer, so that I can ensure efficiency and clarity on the idiots in the legal team."

This is the mystery that Yale Flower can maintain its popularity on campus. She is so cool.

...

"After entering college, I was exposed to more Democratic ideas and began to gradually examine my own problems."

"I think the reason why my father became a Republican is largely because..." Xilairi obviously drank too much, his face flushed, and began to criticize her. Obviously, she was extremely dissatisfied with the patriarchal exploitation and wanted to vent her anger a few punches at this moment. This is human nature.

Edward deeply understands this that the core of the civil rights movement is equality, gender equality, racial equality, and orientation equality.

As a country established by Puritans, the United States discriminated against women by religious factors in fact, and the civil rights movement could have developed vigorously in the 1960s naturally had its appropriate social soil and social environment.

He respects these civil rights movements from the bottom of his heart and maintains a sympathetic attitude towards resisting patriarchal oppression.

"He is a small factory owner, so he is extremely despised by the trade unions, opposed most government aid projects, and strongly condemned high taxes..."

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

"Yes," a sarcastic expression appeared on Celerie's face. "In four or seven years, he tried to enter politics and participated in the Chicago city councilman campaign with a pro-Democratic nonpartisan. At that time, he was striving to cater to the Democratic political machine led by young Richard Daly."

"He always thought that he had a great chance of winning. After all, he performed well in the Navy during World War II, which is worthy of praise, and his business after retirement was also done well. He seemed to be able to become a representative of a class. Although he tends to be a Democratic Party, he participates in the election as a non-partisan. Obviously he has his own ideas."

"Uh..." Edward scratched his head, he could guess what Chilery thought at the time.

American party members are self-proclaimed. As long as you think you are a member of a certain party and then go to the local party department to complete the registration procedures, you will be considered a member of the party.

When there is no threshold for joining the party, Old Rodham chose to participate in the city council election as a non-partisan, which obviously has deeper considerations.

He wants to show his strength to the Democrats and tell them by running and winning, "Hey, look at my strength, I'm much better than you think."

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

If the head of the grassroots party department of the Democratic Party is proficient in Sinology and is familiar with Chinese classical literature "The Historical Legend of Three Countries", he would have to perform a scene of the Three Guards Villa, and enthusiastically and sincerely invite Mr. Hugh Rodham to join the Democratic Party and work tirelessly to build a great thousand-year capitalist empire.

The sarcastic expression on Xilairi's face became stronger and stronger, and the corners of his mouth began to bend down unconsciously, looking a little mature. "He even wanted to be a member of the machine, but the Democratic regular army candidate beat him up in a mess in the election, and his almost humiliating failure made him fully understand the rules of this world."

"After this failed attempt, his personality became more and more extreme, mocking the Democratic Party all the time, expressing his contempt for them sharply. Of course, it was mainly at the dining table at home. And forcing us to listen."

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

“In turn, when the Democratic convention is broadcast, the TV will be turned off.”

"My mother has nine siblings. My grandmother was only fifteen years old when she was born. It is conceivable that life will be difficult after that? So, my mother is very tenacious and she loves us kindly. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know what she would be like."

...

A blizzard is howling outside the window.

The terrain in the United States is actually not good.

Although there are many plains and abundant water resources.

But the direction of the mountains is a problem.

The mighty Rockies on the West Coast and the Alabaches on the East Coast almost run across North America, protecting the vast plains in the middle like sandwiches.

In spring, summer and autumn, there is no big problem. Even the mountains can block some typhoons from the sea, so that they will not drive straight into the inner area and cause damage.

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

First, two mountains blocked the warm and humid airflow from the ocean.

The air-cooled air mass from Siberia can drive straight in without any obstacles.

The blessing of the two major mountains has formed a wind effect at this moment. As long as the air conditioner is sufficient, the cold air mass will hardly need to brake from North Dakota, the northernmost state to Texas adjacent to Mexico.

So when California beaches are already shining with sunshine, it is normal for minus ten degrees below zero in the same latitude in the central area.

On the contrary, in summer, the tropical cyclone in the Caribbean began to show its might, and bypassed the Alabachian Mountains from the bottom and hit the central plains with a beautiful left hook, then counterattacked all the way to greet the people in the north.

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

In winter, cold air that originates from the Arctic is about to invade, first you have to browse through the Siberian high platform and then skip the Mongolian Plateau. At this time, the north begins to feel the cold.

But the south can still make do with it. If the cold air is powerful enough to browse the Qinling Mountains, it can only flow out from several passes and raid the south of the Yangtze River.

When we are about to enter Lingnan, it is basically spring...

In summer, the first island chain used to block China has become a typhoon barrier...

The overlord of the Pacific Ocean roared past, leaving behind the devastation of Japan and a certain island. By the time they landed on the mainland, although their power was still huge, their destructiveness decreased a lot.

Therefore, the two major agricultural powers that face each other far across the Pacific Ocean were envious of each other.

China "Americans are so damn good, they occupy such a good land. One country is surrounded by two oceans, and the left and right ventilation is all over the middle. There are large plains and paradise for mechanized agriculture. Look at me, all of them are fragmented arable land, and even artificial wonders like terraces can be created. And I also like farming. If I have the agricultural conditions of you, tsk..."

United States: "I'm going to your uncle! Don't just watch thieves eat meat, don't you see thieves being beaten? I'm so easy. In winter, the cold wind blows from the throat to the chrysanthemums, and in summer, the typhoons arch from the chrysanthemums all the way to the throat. This is a big ice and fire for me! And open your eyes and see, you have been in human activities since prehistoric, and have been a global populous country since entering the feudal era. In our new continent, there is only an Indian tribe with no climate at all... Do you know why there are fewer people? Without large-scale electrified communications, mechanized agricultural machinery, and fertilizers and pesticides, this land cannot support so many of you! Be content with you!"

Having said that, if the American government's civil servants could be one-tenth of the rapidity of the cold wave, then probably the Americans had already established colonies on the moon.

Chicago is also called Windy City because it happens to be located on the wind vent. It is a common thing to experience extreme low temperatures of minus 20 degrees Celsius in winter.

The snowy winter is also a landscape in Chicago.

Xilairi looked at the heavy snow floating outside the window, and was a little stunned for a moment.

Edward stood up and sat next to her.

She didn't respond.

Someone naturally came to her shoulder and put his hand on her shoulder, "Do you miss home?"
