Well, I don't see that as the case. Do you know what it was like in Socialist countries? What ones have succeeded today? Not many.
The remotely socialist policies that exist today that are perhaps from that era or before are Social security and medicare. If you don't need either one, I guess you planned really well for your retirement, and I applaud you.
I guess you are describing me since i'm in that age range, but my reality doesn't match what you think. I advocate for thinking for yourself every day, but I also self reflect on what my actions are and how they impact others. I might still do things that are good for me and bad for others, but I am fully aware of everything, and I have plenty of skills and a stable career. I'm not the majority in my age bracket, but I'm also not an anomaly. There will always be idiots.
If you only listen to Fox news and only exist on the Internet, I can see how you would think this is true. But it's far from my experience, and I don't spend much time with social media. You are right that there are lots of idiots in the world (not just the US), but of course that was always true. Thanks to social media and the Internet, they now have a voice, but only if someone chooses to listen.
What stand would you take? Do you want to send those people to re-education (internment) camps? The only path forward is compromise. Otherwise you are left to violence, and nobody wins in the end with that.
Not seeing it, even with the pre-Trump supreme court, 2A was fine, I had what I needed and nobody was taking it.
Free speech is alive and well, I can disagree with any government employee and not go to jail.
Agree, needs a compromise to solve. Building a wall does nothing to stop people from coming, a comprehensive solution is required, which requires compromise. Have to give the people a reason not to come, which means diplomacy.
If you want big tech to not censor you, then you have to regulate them, so you are not really a true conservative at that point. You can't have it both ways, either no private regulation or some reasonable private regulation to protect citizens health and property. Why would I want to operate in this country as a business if the government is going to tell me I have to serve customers that I don't want?
You don't know what this is, nobody does unless you're a college professor, but you assume it means a single race can't be dominant or who knows what you think. It's a good thing to allow all races to coexist and hopefully based on merit achieve. I think we'd be better off without returning to slavery. And, we can look back on history and say slavery was bad and there are lasting consequences from that. And still think this country is great. Two things can be true at the same time.
Agree, at 18 they should be free to do what they want, but before I think is unwise.
Nobody really wanted this other than some random city people that are clueless. The places that tried this probably did it poorly. You have to maintain or increase police funding alongside mental health services.
Might be fine for some offenses. There's plenty of data prior to the pandemic that no bail doesn't increase repeat offenses. Just too polarizing to be meaningfully debated these days.
Roe/Dobbs being overturned in the Supreme court, and all the Republicans out and about trying to make abortion illegal federally. Leave it to the states where it belongs, like almost all things.
I'm advocating for compromise. If I can't communicate with you, what hope is there? I can't agree with the current Republican party, and most Democrats are not extreme liberals. They are moderates looking for a better future. I just want a peaceful future to retire without having to worry. Voting for crazy Republicans that don't care about policy and only venerate Trump and his insanity is not an option for me, I want responsible government spending with accountability, and that requires candidates that are responsible and can articulate real policies that matter to an individual like me.
