the core idea is to restore America as an independent, sovereign nation bound by a set of laws. The role of government would then return to serving the interests of the citizenry ie We the People

AKA reinstate the Constitution as the Supreme law of the land over the feds and DISMANTLE 80% of the $4 trillion mostly unconstitutional central government restoring constitutional state sovereignty and individual, political and economic freedom in America.

Exactly. So how do you do that? It has nothing to do with economics, social conduct, etc. Those may be important, but we must recognize that they are simply secondary order effects driven by the core principles of law & order. If we don't have a firm foundation based on the rule of law, then any policy edifice - conservative or liberal - is simply built on sand.

Trump & Bernie are speaking directly to these issues, which is why they are resonating with a majority of the electorate. Emma Goldman and many others have famously said that if voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal. We've seen how true that is for generations now; this is possibly a one-time shot.

If these core issues at hand cannot be peacefully resolved, then we'll continue down the path where the nationalists will be pitted against the NWO globalists in less than ideal conditions.
