Republicans ARE free market. There is a difference between free market and anarchy tho.

Anarchsts want a no rules free for all.

Republicans want a free market system regulated to protect citizens.

Democrats want to destroy the free market and control everything.

Happy to help.

Trump entire economic plan in 4 years was to tariff China. and planned to tariff Mexico to pay for a border wall.

The wall really encapsulates that term. 400 miles of updated wall meanwhile only 80 miles of that 400 was actually new or something like that. Just a complete failure.

His economic policies also included across the board deregulation, tax cuts, pushing the manufacturing and fossil sectors, ditching fiscal conservatism and leaning into deficit spending, and several others.

The success or merits of these policies are debatable, sure, but claiming that he did nothing but tariffs is just false.

i heard more about deregulation as a promise than reality, i think that hardly moved the needle. tax cuts are a valid point. idk what pushing those sectors means in legislation, i didnt really see anything for manufacturing, other than the tertiary effects of the tariffs ramping production on coal, steel, lumber, etc. ditching fiscal spending is valid, i just see it as so bad i overlook it.

It really is sad that 4 years of southern history, taught from the silly perspective that the war was of northern aggression on southern rights to leave the union which dont exist, is about all they want taught in schools.

that and a pile of misleading footnotes like:

"in Africa blacks sold blacks", "blacks owned slaves too!", and "some slaves lived way better lives as slaves than their children did as free people".
