Why not?I don't think there can be an actual real-life experiment like this.
This merely involves having people come together to do things people already do.
If it's a question of funding, I don't think that would be a problem. Plenty of money has been on experiments.
For example, billions of dollars were spent to build the LHC to smash atoms: Large Hadron Collider - Wikipedia
There's even a proposal to spend $17 billion on a larger atom smasher: CERN proposes $17 billion particle smasher that would be 3 times bigger than the Large Hadron Collider
It could even be done in a way that makes money by setting it up to be a TV show analogous to Survivor, except there isn't a contestant who wins a million dollars, etc.
Well, I am aware of how the media likes to spread these types of stories about Republicans, but I don't buy into them as if they reflect all Republicans or as if Democrats aren't any worse than any Republicans who are like that.Well, Republicans have also demonstrated intolerance towards LGBTQ people, as well as indifference/intolerance towards the poor and lower classes. That's what I meant by socially intolerant.
I would also include intolerance towards immigrants, although that seems to vary by the level of wealth the immigrants might have. Republicans like wealthy immigrants. They even like wealthy Muslims. I still get a chuckle at those pictures of George W. Bush kissing a Saudi prince.
They don't have to be "directly" associated - however, you do have a point regarding more recent cancel culture situations, such as with Bud Light and anyone who doesn't fully support Israel's genocidal activity.I don't know if one can directly associate the Democrats with cancel culture and Antifa.
You mean like McCarthyism and Nixon's enemies list as examples of weaponization by Republicans?But both parties have been known to weaponize government agencies and the legal system against people they don't like (or those they might have deemed a threat to US national security, such as MLK).
I don't know about that; these high-profile Republican politicians don't have loyalty to the Republican ideology & I think they're supporting and endorsing Kamala Harris because Trump has done and wants to do things that go against their wealth and power interests (well, I suppose that could be considered "personal").Trump appears to be a divisive force within the Republicans, although my impression is that most of their grudge against Trump is personal more than ideological.
