Dissolve the FBI. Disarm the IRS. These should be left-wing talking points but the Left is no longer what it was.
The funny thing is, I’ve come around to what many of my “liberal” Vietnam vet era teachers and professors used to preach. To wit:
- against the constant foreign wars and suspicious of the military industrial complex and the warmongers who want to constantly meddle abroad.
- distrust the federal intel/law enforcement agencies. They need to be abolished or receive chainsaw enemas at the very least.
- Staunchly pro free speech. I mean STAUNCHLY. Prosecute anybody in government who acted in any way to censor or ban Americans for exercising their free speech.
- Staunchly anti monopoly - especially Big Tech and the corporate media. Bust them up into a million pieces via anti-trust actions.
- Secure the border. Flooding the country with cheap labor hurts the bargaining power of the working and middle class.
- Dramatically shrink H1bs for the same reason. Bringing in a flood of them is not the free market, it is rigging the game against American workers to drive down wages.
- fair trade rather than “free” trade. Some foreign rivals like China cheat constantly via currency manipulation, no environmental or OSHA type laws, dumping, non tariff barriers on imports, etc. We need to retaliate with heft tariffs of our own against the cheaters. In addition, there are certain strategic industries we need to have eg chip manufacturing, rare earths, oil/gas, cars, defense components, agriculture, etc.
- women’s sports ie keep the trannies out. If you have a “Y” chromosome you are a male. Your feelings are irrelevant.
- Repeal the Patriot Act are restore the 4th amendment....prosecute the FIB and anyone else who just hoovers up all of Americans’ personal data without a warrant.
- Question Authority.
- A person should be judged by the content of their character or their individual merit rather than by the color of their skin. Segregation is racism. Hiring and admissions need to be completely colorblind.
Holding any of these positions gets you labeled “Right Wing” or even “Far Right” today. Where did all the “good” liberals go who used to support all of these things?
