"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh

It's funny that DOFP was such a massively influential story that the mutant titles keep trying to recreate it and revisit it and do riffs on it 40+ years later and the original DOFP isn't even long enough to fill a trade paperback, or even count as the opening arc of a new title these days.
This is really the crux of the problem. Every time the x-men go back to the DoFP dark future well, all it really does is create a "hey, the x-men just kind of suck at what they're trying to do?" moment for me as a long time reader and fan

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

UF researchers coauthor more papers with authors based in China than with those based in any other other country in the world. This policy would wreck US science.
“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”
