Thanks to all for the offers, but I'm not interested in meeting singles in my area, or learning more about crypto, or getting pictures in my DMs. I'll never subscribe to anything or buy anything, and I'm happily married (and my wife is an excellent shot).

The GOP doesn’t need another personality to rally around. It needs a purpose worth rallying around.
Free markets. Individual liberty. Constitutional government. Peace through strength.
The road back to Republican victories begins with the principles we left behind. 🇺🇸

Jung on human nature. Uncomfortably accurate.
“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls.”
Psychology and Alchemy, §126
The measure of the tyranny of an administration is not only what rights were violated under it.
One must also judge how much the institutions that protect our rights have been weakened.
By that measure, we have had a long string of tyrants.

What was I talking about?
Democrats in MN say gun owners are overreacting, as they say they intend to make modern firearms illegal.
Understand this - many of us aren't registering anything. We aren't turning in anything. Our guns aren't going away.
That's not a reaction - it is the absence of a reaction
I *never* vote for the person.
I vote for what I believe the person will do in office.
Of course, their personality and history determines whether I believe they will do what they say they will do.
The last Presidential candidate I actually believed was Ron Paul.
Objectively: has the swamp been drained?
Are the political class still in charge in DC and across the country, or have they been ousted?
Do bureaucrats still act as de facto lawmakers and judges, or have regulations been brought back under legislative control?
Yes.
But doing something about it is not usually as quick or as surgical as people expect.
Political systems are *designed* to prevent any real meaningful change.
So usually discontent builds for generations, and then it gets very messy.
Exactly.
Americans don’t actually want to bounce back and forth between bad choices.
They want better choices.

To be fair, who would've thought that throwing your strongest supporters under the bus and then driving back and forth over them while yelling "hahaha who needs you" would lead to such a bad outcome for your party?
Narrator: But we all knew they wouldn’t.

If libertarianism wasn’t popular, Republicans wouldn’t pretend to be libertarians when campaigning
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If you counted on Trump - or any person - to "save the country" - you made a terrible mistake.
Politicians will never ever ever get that job done.
Only when the people have a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for violations of the constitution - will the country be "saved."
