BLM failing to actually (statistically) make a case regarding the disparity in treatment towards blacks by L.E.O. Show me the numbers. Unless and until that's on the table, stop wasting my time. I'll listen, but stop blowing smoke up my arse.

4 years ago, if you'd asked this, I'd have told you taxes, regulation, and general government power over the private sector. Basically, much better adherence to the actual constitution.

Today. My #1 issue is identity politics.

Trump was my LAST choice in the primaries until I finally accepted that the reality is, one side is fully committed to the politics of vengeance.

Until that is solved/stopped, all that other shite ain't gonna matter at all.

I’m more of a political philosophy guy than a watching the sausage get made guy. I started educating myself on the history of Leftist movements by reading books around age 14 or 15 and I’ve never stopped. Along the way I’ve become very adept at predicting Leftist behavior, language, goals - but most of all their collective psychology. I know how they think as well as anybody. So that’s my “ issue “.

I also feel the strongest about Free Speech issues and media and bureaucratic corruption issues.

It's not and it won't. Don't waste a second assuming that it might.

Like most Libertarians, I would say private property rights for obvious reasons.

This is the real epidemic. They have mobilized online mobs that get you fired or Doxxed, for saying stuff they disagree with. Now, they have successfully blurred the lines on actual racism, homophobia, etc. to make it easier.


Question is, how do you combat this? How do we make it easier to identify and prosecute those who doxx? How can we change course on the group-think so people aren't getting fired for saying All Lives Matter?

Non-interventionist foreign policy. We can never have limited government here at home when we police the world via force.

good question, there are so many problems to deal with

#1 might be term limits just because of the trash we have in Washington

#1b, Deep State culture..."this is how we do it"

#1c - Big government mentality, -the enormous spending drives me insane

#1d- the people who pay the most in taxes are told they don't pay enough and are now being silenced

What’s the one issue you are most passionate about or maybe even a single issue voter. For me: Abortion


You picked the most stark difference between conservatives and leftist agnostic/atheists and down votes away.....that should tell you something about the direction and soul of the country. BTW abortion would be mine too followed closely with protecting 1st/2nd amendments. The godless left must be corralled or this country is done.

Great topic for a thread and nice break from the regular diet of COVID and identity politics.

Like a lot of others on here my major issues are promoting free markets and fighting the "gotta do something" expansive nature of government. For example, I really think we need some kind of balance budget amendment, though there are a couple different ways to get that done.

That's the constant fight.


BUT the thing that really causes me to engage the emotional side of me and bring about rage is the politicization of disasters. Since Katrina I have zero tolerance for this garbage. And while political figures do it, what I really hate is when the media engages in this nonsense.
