Didn't you used to back Ron Paul? Did Trump trigger you so hard that you elected the people who will engage in arms confiscation and outlaw home schooling?

Pathetic.


Yeah, 12 years ago. Some of us are capable of growing intellectually.

Corporate America doing some pushing back on right-wing extremism as well. Good to see.

Without a doubt. For instance, over the past twelve years my distrust for state authority has expanded to include corporate authority. Or rather, all institutional authority. And my politics shifted from anarcho-capitalist, to far-right populist with a focus on improving the condition of the American working class. Hence my opposition to Shanghai Joe. Unfortunately, the American State as it stands currently is designed only to benefit the corporate ruling class. That rat Reagan destroyed any hope for this nation.

Reminds me of Deus Ex. Maybe it's time we start the NSF.

"Number One: In 1945, corporations paid 50% of federal taxes; now they pay about 5%. Number Two: In 1900, 90% of Americans were self employed; now it's about 2%... It's called consolidation; strengthen governments and corporations, weaken individuals. With taxes, this can be done imperceptibly over time."

I'm the first to admit Trump was a massive disappointment. His actions for too moderate. Corporate tax cut, money to Israel, failure to deliver on the wall. Still, he's preferable to the going back to the good ol' days of 2014. How long until Biden sends troops to destroy Syria?

I think a better description for this ideology is "toddlerism". Kneejerk opposition to authority is a trait of someone who hasn't grown up.

I said distrust, not opposition. If people I supported gained authority, I definitely wouldn't oppose it.

You should follow politics outside of election season. Both parties are war hawks. Trump was the biggest Dove in office since Carter.
