First off, what is a conservative to begin with? Wanting small government doesn't make one a conservative in my view. Wanting small government because the founding fathers wanted small government makes one a poor conservative in my view. Why did the founding fathers want small government? Well, because a large government is both expensive, and easily leads to the oppression of the citizenry (glad that hasn't happened...). Wanting small government isn't or ought not be the hallmark of a "conservative".
Ok but being actually serious. I feel like people just don't give a fuck about states rights anymore in America. That used to be a really important thing to people on the conservative side. I especially feel like that is something that has been completely lost. Especially with trump now. I definitely still want States to have power, rather than a giant federal government still.
Politics is a big game. Remember that Trump dunked on quite a number of the people who are either in his cabinet or aligned with him now back when he was running for his first term. Trump being elected in 2016 has reset the entire playing field for the GOP. I think Vance understands that the energy is with the MAGA movement now. I think he also realizes that the country is in a different struggle than it was pre-Trump. Hell, I didn't even like Trump until I saw what he was doing for the country. First president I've seen who delivers for the people like no other.
"Leftist billionaire" is an oxymoron. He's not a true believer because he's not abandoning his fortune for the government to redistribute it to different varities of nigger. He believes in "obtain money and power," and progressive ideology helps achieve the later. He achieves the former by being a cutthroat laize faire capitalist in the hospitality industry. He's an ultra-mecha-giga-landlord. These two ideologies are diametricaly opposed, yet progressives are too morally bankrupt to notice because their entire mantra around Pritzker is that he is "one of the good ones." Same as Bill Gates. They'll ignore mass involuntary sterilization on the African continent as long as the person doing it gets on TV a couple times a year and tells people to stop driving cars and eating meat.
No I’m not missing the point. I’m tired of these fucking insurgents holding parts of the country hostage. The Feds absolutely could take control of the city if they wanted to. The city has a militarized PD? Okay. They have no oil, they have no ammo factory. They have no fighter jets, no Navy. They could not win. They could not even hold off an invasion. The Democrats have no power in the government. There is nothing they could do to retaliate. They would be completely defeated.
States have asserted more power in the past 20 years then since the civil war
he’s not a socialist but he is a true believer in globohomo. Plenty of neoliberal billionaires who want globohomo covid technocracy to last forever.
States rights will die an ignoble death if hives for illegal immigration are not reigned in. Elections are already a landslide for democrats for every single race that isn't Caucasians. As much as I'd have liked for the Confederacy to win, the precedent for the federal government to meddle in state affairs exists. It may as well be used now for an actually good purpose: slowing the browning of the USA.
People are literally getting killed by radical Communists and the government isn’t doing anything about it except a few token arrests on people in the foodchain who don’t matter.
If Trump calls all the black democrats niggers he could then arrest them when they chimp out. Saying nigger would also help connect him to the common man and thereby increase his approval rate.
This thread only gets into an insufferable state when some major national news happens, like the Charlie Kirk shooting, and leftoids try to gain a feeling of control in their life by aggravating their intellectual superiors (the otherwise-peaceful far-right regulars of this thread).
If Pritzker was arrested today the Dems would yell about it for a day and then switch to talking about how Pritzker is actually a piece of shit and they never supported him in the first place.
Well, in the case of Texas during Biden's presidency. Texas used the power they have to actually do their own border enforcement. I think there are some cases where it's beneficial for the federal government to wield power. But I think it's just as important for states to maintain their own power to make decisions based on what the people living in said state want.
He pushes globohomo because it serves his purpose of staying in power. If globohomo interferes with his ability to gain wealth or power, he will abandon it immediately. Pritzker is not an ideological stalwart that's going to ride progressivism into the poor house. He'd put on a MAGA hat and lose 100lbs before letting his net worth drop below 10 figures.
you said arrest them and hang them nigger
The Texas situation was a case where the Federal government was actively endangering the state. It escalated the situation into an existential threat to Texas. Once something becomes an existential threat, there is no desire to follow any rule of law. All that matters is surviving. So of course Texas is forced to do something about. It had no choice. Thankfully the border patrol was wise to stand down and deescalate the situation.
When neoliberals (and their offshoot creatures at the TES thread) stridently demagogue about the fascistic doom the GOP behind Trump has in store for Americans and the world at large, they mean more than Fifth World foreign invaders sometimes getting deported. Former MSNBC propagandist Joy Reid gives specifics on the fate America could face:
x 21 x 2 x 1 x 1
I think you’re just pedantic tbqh. He isn’t some Machiavellian, he stood by his tranny brother when it was like a life ruiner to be one. And he likes power not money is the issue. That’s somone who isn’t going to be forced out of power willingly
Yes if the Feds arrest and hang Chicago’s government we will never hear the words ‘sanctuary city’ uttered by a Democrat ever again, just like we never hear about them calling to overturn the 13th amendment.
