Was the War in Iraq/Afghanistan an example of that small government Reaganism your nostalgic for? 🧐

Orthogonal to it - pretty similar to Reagan supporting those willing to stand against the Soviet Union.

Better example would be Reagan's efforts to cut domestic handouts, while the other guy blasted Senate Republicans for refusing to support his December 2020 push for another round of $2000 check handouts.

Populists love to buy votes.

The other guy being the "orange freak" as you call him?

Someone upthread mentioned there being a hard core group of #nevertrump stay behinds on this site...I guess that includes you.

Trump is at heart a Peronist, and that’s not a good thing. Argentina is where it is in part because of Juan Peron. I’ll vote Trump, but a Biden victory wouldn’t be the end of the world. Joe would continue careening to the left, which will drive a big rightward reaction both in the mid-term and in 2028. If DeSantis manages to get the 2028 nomination, that would be the ideal setup - fresh policies to clean up the mess of the Biden years.
