Anyone I know that thinks the government will won’t let them down, I recommend playing Lotto.
It’s a fight against the technocrats and totalitarianism on all fronts: gun rights, healthcare, business regulation, education, land use, police and criminal justice, privacy in the private sector, transparency in the public sector etc.
Power needs to flow down to the States otherwise it will keep getting worse. The statists own the police state and bureaucracies and even trump can’t change that.
Reminds me of an illustrated meme I saw:
Jesus: “Help your neighbor and take care of the poor and helpless.”
Someone in the crowd: “But Jesus, can’t we just give our money to the Romans and let them do it for us?”
Jesus: “Okay, I’m going to start over from the beginning. Let me know where I lost you.”
the big lie is actually that govt CAUSES most of our problems....and they won’t go away.
It can’t even protect one man. Why would you trust it to accomplish anything?
Don’t sane people stop believing that about the time they stop believing in Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy?
Name ONE problem the government solved. OK, WW II, the moon landing, the Interstate Highway System, and some amazing weapons. I’ll grant you those.
I’d also say “The Constitution” but the government that it created destroyed it.
Why does the Left hate Trump?
Because Trump:
- created over three million new jobs,
- sunk unemployment across the board to historic lows,
- increased paychecks, and
- sent consumer and small business confidence to their highest marks in years.
The Left HATES that. The Left HATES individual success. Individual success feeds freedom and militates against government dependency.
The Left is the Enemy Within.
My Father knew that the Democrat politicians were liars and thieves, but he still voted for them.
Why?
Because he felt it was in his best fiscal interest to vote for them.
He hated abortion. He disliked homosexuality. He thought the environmental stuff was mostly baloney. He was for a strong Defense Department. He had a strong sense of law and order.
But he voted Democrat.
Because he FELT that it was in his best fiscal interest to do so.
There are a few die hard Democrats.
A few.
In order to get the Democrat voter to switch, President Trump is going to have to convince them that it is in their best fiscal interest to switch.
Politicians that stay forever are the problem
There is no problem so great, that the government cannot make even worse.
You said it.
Your father was probably one of the good democrats that once existed, but don’t anymore.
My in-laws are the very same way.
They vote Democrat because they FEEL that it is in their best fiscal interest to do so.
With trillions upon trillions in deficits and negative interest rates, the government solving global warming one wasteful polluting budget after another
We don’t want Washington to solve our problems. We just want Washington to quit BEING our problem.
My elderly neibor was a Yellow Dog and said said I was making it up that Obama's name was Hussien.
When she learned his name at the coronation, she said her party lied to her. But she was still a Yellow Dog.
Well, maybe two reasons - defense, and de fence (between us and Mexico)! The rest is an excuse for taxation.
