I actually agree with a lot of the things my liberal 1960s teachers used to believe in.
I’m suspicious of the 3 letter agencies and think they routinely abuse their power especially against political dissidents.
I’m antiwar and think a lot of the conflicts the government chooses to get us involved in are unnecessary AND I’m suspicious of the military industrial complex....defense companies....which profit from those conflicts.
I want a secure border - a flood of illegal aliens coming in hurts the working class especially.
I’m suspicious of Big Pharma.
I’m suspicious of lots of Big Business.
I favor fair trade rather than pure free trade.
I favor transparency in government.
I want elections to be secure which means use paper, show ID and I want complete transparency in the vote counting.
I staunchly support free speech. If that means some people get their feelings hurt, too bad.
All of this which was described as left wing as recently as 10-15 years ago, now makes me a Right winger.....and I wasn’t even born until the 1970s so I’m not “that” old.
I’m in my early 40s and your liberal 1960s teachers sound pretty based. It still blows my mind how much has changed in about half a generation.
I guess the only difference between you and them is that that they are/were willing to seize power through any means necessary and move rapidly to recreate the Third Reich.
There is a lot of truth in what you say. I’ve thot of some of these same things lately...especially the military conflicts and big business.
