As far as I know, Trump’s policy of America First was never described as autarky, but I think that’s where we were going, and where we should go.

Economic self-reliance. Produce our own food, produce our own energy, bring manufacturing home to America. Use tariffs as needed to support our products and discourage other products. Sure, if you want to buy mangoes from India, or import tungsten from Vietnam, you could. But we should try to emphasize our own economy and have less to do with others, where practicable.

Getting involved in the affairs of the world has only damaged our core American values. No more blood and treasure.

Totally agree. I’m with Tucker on this one. We, as a nation, need to concentrate on taking back the narrative from the loony left, re-install conservative Christian values, remove every single illegal immigrant from this country, and do as you said, re-establish our strength in being self-reliant.

100% agreement here.

What bugs me most during Covid is that we discovered we don’t even have the ability to make our own meds.

That is stupid on steroids.
