Another 'I'm in the middle' phony. What is it with you guys. Just be what you are..........
Many of his policies are ok. No new wars, cutting taxes cutting regulations. I am very pro 2nd amendment. I am fine with his SCOTUS picks. I am 100% Libertarian. Voted for Jo and for Libertarians for over 20 years. Ron Paul is my hero in politics. Trump is yours? My hero is a zillion times a better human being. And has convictions Trump does not comprehend. Trumps positions come from saying what thinks people want to hear. You call me a liberal. Please. Trumpers are liberals.

Trump seems comfortable with a large federal government. Massive budget deficits. Look at the trillions in handouts this year. He wanted a shutdown and got it. So Trump is a mixed bag as is Biden. Trump and Trumpers are much closer to Democrats than I am. Calling me a leftist is silly. Trump was a NYC leftist almost all of his life. Veered a bit away from that to run for POTUS. Still inside he is a NYC liberal. Its obvious.

We do the real work. You don't know jack **** about working.

We represent America. Blue states are the reason people want to come here. No one wants to come to America to live in Mississippi.
White Americans fund the country. White Americans create wealth and prosperity. White Americans vote red.

So you so-called Libertarians would have to swim for it?

Yes, so both red and blue can live in some peace amongst like-minded people. I don't, and don't want to, understand liberals' minds, and I'm sure they don't want to understand mine. I would be immensely happier surrounded by fellow reds in a red nation.

The globalists do have a correct observation about something... the more resources are spent constructing militaries to protect us from each other, the less resources we have to spend on more productive activities. Splitting up the US would create a similar situation. The two halves are less strong than the whole and more resources are used to maintain the two in comparison to maintaining one. If we somehow merged with Canada we would further benefit from a consolidation of resources, and the ability to drive straight up to Alaska with no fuss.

This works until a certain point. You wouldn't want a single world government with no individual say in what each state can do, because that would be like having a big corporate monopoly with no competition. It's a balancing act.

That said, communism doesn't work for the same reason. By spending so many resources trying to control people's behavior via propaganda to a certain narrow way of living, you lose massive amounts of resources that could be better used to advance society, not to mention the lack of innovation from constraining people's ability to access information.

The system we have works pretty good.. a friendly sort of cooperation between developed nations without some new world order dictatorship demanding people behave a certain way like China... most things that come out of that country... well.. they are mostly inferior copies... they don't innovate... western society innovates and they copy. I'll stick to my mixed capitalist societies. It wouldn't hurt if we had single payer health care and a better support system and less corruption in the US though.. but I still want to keep my guns... and I want a society where people are encouraged to work, not be parasites, but not a society of slaves either. A balancing act.

Even if you made a new country out of the red states, all the biggest cities in that new country would be blue. So it would be just as divided anyway.

Lol it’s funny how far right wingers are all “‘Merica!” until their loser leader loses. Now it’s all about Civil War and leaving the union. It’s treasonous and you calling for this are traitors of the United States of America.

Trump voters trust Trump and his family, other republicans not so much.
You are living is some alternate reality where your hatred has consumed your mind. Sadly, this is the new liberal M.O.

Nobody here that I know of has seriously called for Trump to be some kind of demigod, but you leftists never seem to comprehend what's really being said anyway, and I'm not really surprised you actually believe that.

The Pendulum swings back and forth, wait long enough your side should be in charge again at some point.
Until then put on your big boy/girl pants and take it like a grown up.


We split from GB because we didn't like the person in charge.
