    They don't have to reconcile their cognitive dissonance because they actually believe they are better off with these fascists in power. They share the same racist, christian nationalist views as those using the puppet president for imposing Project 2025.

    Maga will not leave the White House peaceably in 2028, regardless of the electoral results. They've already set the stage.

    I'm not asking about your opinion on parties. You're pretty clear on that. What issues matter to you?

    I grew up in the country, I can feed myself.

    I believe in a strong military and good infrastructure/ people who keep disease out of our country (They failed and the fact that our tax dollars subsidized Covid bothers me for more reasons that I want to really think about.

    Obviously with your thoughts about Reagan's statement means we will never agree with what the role of the federal govt should be. So talking about this is going to be just a waste of time.

    I’m not interested in debating Reagan’s slogan because, at the end of the day, it’s just that, a slogan. It means different things to different people. For example, the phrase implies that gov itself is the problem, yet you’re saying gov is the solution when it comes to a strong military, good infrastructure, and protecting public health. That’s exactly why I don’t rely on political slogans in serious discussions... they’re meant for campaigns, not for real conversations about what kind of gov we actually want.

    I can feed myself fine too, but if the economy were to enter a deep recession and there were absolutely no safety net, we’d quickly spiral into a depression, and a lot of people would be harmed. That’s why I think some level of safety net is necessary, not as a handout, but as protection against collapse and chaos.

    Something tells me you won't get a clear cut answer to the question you pose, I admire your patience with the dull though...

    All three of those issues are essentially law and order issues at their core.

    So my question to you is why don't you care about law and order with any consistent integrity??

    Or is your belief that law and order actually isn't a solution to law and order issues, and that the only way to get ORDER is through absolute authoritarian power that dictates the order outside of the law???

    I really have no earthly idea what the hell he is talking about.

    Is he saying that he doesn't understand why our tax dollars went to CREATING Covid (I guess the Wuhan/Fauci conspiracy) or is he saying that he doesn't understand why our tax dollars went towards STOPPING Covid with a response effort????

    Like if he thinks that it isn't a good idea for the federals government to have a response effort for a deadly virus that for weeks SHUT DOWN our economy along with killing oh uh... A MILLION people in a year, then I don't know what he thinks the federal government is there to do other than maybe provide mean tweets and build ballrooms for wannabe dictators.

    I mean you can criticize the response if you want, but arguing that he doesn't understand why the Trump admin chose to RESPOND is insane.

    Conspiracy's ass,

    Look at big Pharma and Fauci. Even Obama didn't let Fauci do his experiments in the USA.

    Heck, I've got people I love that are still taking the poke.

    My philosophy aligns with Reagan.

    Well I guess more people need to learn to become like us.

    Does anybody today understand what the term self reliance means?

    Explain how the United States created the Covid 19 virus., how they weaponized it, and why did they benefit from a virus like that being deployed?

    The logic of why it benefited the United States or China is always the part I struggle with. The global economy suffered greatly and it deeply damaged democratic norms globally as well.

    You saw crack downs and since then fascistic autocratic leaders have gain more and more power because of the economic uncertainty, isolationism (micro and macro), civil unrest, and inflationary issues that are a direct result of Covid.

    Just in general the world is a worse place for everyone now because of Covid changing our lives. So again… please explain why? How did they do it, and why??

    Bingo.

    Don't validate his statements. I am putting him on ignore. I don't want to read idiotic conspiracy theory arguments.
