I am saddened by the widespread transition to the socialist democratic form of government currently in power. I do not trust socialist slavers and their compulsory charity enforced by a “benevolent” totalitarian police state. I do not trust usurers with their scam to keep us in perpetual debt and impoverished. I do not like their attempts to disarm the public. I am not pleased that the servant government has declared a perpetual “temporary” State of Emergency, and bypassed the terms of the Constitution, ever since 1933. I understand the reason - you cannot embrace usury and not get “bitten” by the serpent. But after 82 years, aren’t there any candidates willing to challenge the status quo?

I am aware of the mutually exclusive beliefs that hold Americans in a state of mental confusion and dismay. A people who claim to embrace freedom, spend more and more of their lives compromised, and without liberty. Being obligated to pay taxes or get permission (licenses) to live, work, travel, buy, sell, operate a business, transmit radio, fly a plane, trade in healthcare, buy medicine, cut hair, build a house, hunt, fish, marry, and / or own a dog is NOT freedom nor liberty by any stretch of the definition. That is subjugation to the all powerful STATE. And that is unAmerican. Though the law may state it was done by our consent, the fact that fraud was used to get that consent makes it dishonorable and disgusting.

Maybe Americans need to refresh their memories about the Founders and their philosophy. According to the Declaration of Independence, American governments were instituted to secure endowed rights, not tax, regulate, nor infringe them.
Sadly, few realize how and when they consented to be governed, and lost their endowment.
Even fewer bother to read their own laws. Congress certainly doesn't - enacting laws that no one has read.

Americans are a lost people.

Donald Trump is the closest thing we've got. Fortunately enough voters recognized during the primaries that decades of an intractable neocon infection had taken root in the GOP, and they've done something about it.

Rand would be far better, but Trump is good enough for now.

Out of curiosity, what, in terms of future policies, do you like about him?

Nothing will change until people start understanding that voting is never enough. The political process has been totally rigged for decades now. Donald isn't liked by the GOP or Democrats, but he's still essentially an insider.

Just for the sake of clarity, could you please enumerate the liberties and freedoms you've lost in recent years?

Thanks.

You never cease to confuse attempts by the left to steal individual rights, with the thwarted results of those actions.

Some of those attempts succeeded, namely ACA 2010.

He at least pays lip service to the Bill of Rights. He's on record as against bogus trade deals that place Americans at a competitive disadvantage. He's not afraid to call out neocons in the GOP on warmongering.

He speaks his mind, whatever the moment may bring.

Better than the alternative across the aisle.

Then please tell us about the tyranny of the ACA and how it's impacted you.

1. I used to have the freedom to choose not to buy something from a corporation just because I am alive.

Can you argue something real that you lost, instead of some rhetorical "right" that you lost? You pay for public education now, whether you have kids or not.
