“I think the reason is that people on the right mostly want to mind their business and be left alone. Seeking political office is more like minding everyone else’s business - completely against our nature.”

Agree. I would like for the people we vote for to simply focus on cutting government down to size. Defund everything that’s wasteful, duplicative, and unnecessarily bureaucratic basically.
One thing that Republicans don’t seem to get is that Democrats use government as a cudgel. They weaponize everything they can to increase their control over people. We simply have to start electing people who are committed to taking this weapon away from them. There’s no sense in voting for anyone who isn’t committed to doing this IMO.

Well said.
Agree 1000% - that’s the only issue right now - maybe it’s always been the only issue.
