Actually, I like Trump’s “do things differently” mindset. I just don’t like the constant drumbeat controversy.
I get suspect of the “blind faith” in anyone. I did not like it in Obama. I did not like it it with either of the Clintons. I don’t like it with Trump.
I don’t think my posts are lazy. I think they are contrary. And sometimes I kick over an ant hill when I see people posting ridiculous comments or blindly following the “everyone who disagrees with Trump is a lefty a-hole.”
My positions from 1998 haven’t really changed. I am a spending hawk. I am anti-debt. I am strong military—when it’s used Constitutionally (something we haven’t done in a long time) and I am generally anti-incumbent across the board as I see them ALL as equally corrupt. I am ani abortion.
Those are core values.
But mostly, I want the government to do its job efficiently and not expand into areas that it doesn’t belong. We could go a full round of Congress just having the members sit around. There are not many laws that need to be passed. Give us two years of expiring programs and no new laws. Then we can see how the world looks.
That’s not over dramatic or too exciting. It’s pragmatic.
The core values you listed are also mine.
