The fact that the US federal government has the power to outlaw this but doesn’t, that this specific execution was brought before the Supreme Court and they voted against blocking it 6–3, and the fact that the majority of US states (27) and the federal government have this on the books speak for the US now, yes.
Taken to an absurd extreme, let’s imagine that the US federal government and 27 of its states explicitly had statutes on the books stating “you can legally rape puppies”, and you stepping in and saying “Well that doesn’t speak for the entire US! Stop trying to make it sound like everyone condones puppy rape just because Missouri allows it!” Would you say that then? Because I feel like any rational person would be asking “Why does the US allow this to happen?” If not, why would you say it here? The US is simply backwards in this regard.
Would you come to the US’ defense in the same way that you are right now over state-sanctioned murder in the situation I outlined? It’s a very simple yes/no question that you’re tiptoeing around for seemingly no reason.
Damn, last I checked, 27 plus the federal government was more than 1. Maybe the federal government expressed as an integer actually comes out to negative 26 and makes your ridiculous defense make any sense.
Missouri speaks for the entire US now?
The US can be judged by the actions of any single state. It’s all the same country 🙄
Like a book can be judged by its cover cause its all the same book?
Like a book can be judged by one of it’s 50 chapters.
You haven’t read much because that is an extremely stupid analogy.
Do you need someone to explain how stupid this is, or have you calmed down since you reacted?
Sure, we’ll pretend that this hasn’t been happening here for hundreds of years across all 50 states.

Puppy rape? Is that supposed to be an argument?

In saying that one state doesn’t speak for the entire country, YES. That was said in my first comment, maybe you should reread it.

I didn’t mention numbers but you mentioned puppy rape. Stop drinking so early, it’ll rot your liver.
I think you got lost on the way to /c/preschool where they teach you what numbers are.
My first comment said “Missouri speaks for the entire US now?” where exactly did I say one state? What hallucinogenic are you on right now?
