I just want policies that put American interests first.
Secure our borders, protect us from invaders, protect us from criminals, quit with the divisive rhetoric, quit promoting behaviors that are counterproductive to society.
In other words, keep me from getting murdered and leave me the hell alone, but with less gay stuff.

Tiny Fed govt
Moderate to small state govt
Power to local govt where my vote matters.

The right is not anti gay/trans, just don’t indoctrinate the children. Other than that they have all the rights everyone else does so it’s a dead issue to me.
The right is not pro Russia/putin, we’re just not blindly pro Ukraine and don’t like writing them blank checks. And we saw through the Russia hoax from the beginning.
The right is not not anti-immigration, we’re just anti-illegal immigration.
The right is not pro-closed borders, we’re for secure borders.
The right is not anti-college education, we’re against leftist indoctrination, student loan forgiveness, and pushing college-for-all policies. College isn’t for everyone.
The right is not anti-minority. I don’t know the basis for you saying this. It’s obviously not true. Maybe based on your perception of the border issue or welfare?

Whatever you want to call him, the modern left is straight up for many socialist policies and honestly, leans Marxist a lot of the time. Easy choice.

That's what he is.

Mercantilism was a form of economic nationalism that sought to increase the prosperity and power of a nation through restrictive trade practices. Its goal was to increase the supply of a state's gold and silver with exports rather than to deplete it through imports. 1 It also sought to support domestic employment.
It's also anti free market and anti capitalist.

The truth and the facts. Nothing else.

Legal immigration not illegal.
Trade reciprocity.
Non interventionalist foreign policy.
Federalists society recommended judges.
Those are my reasonable expectations.
My wishes are:
Abolish the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and the U.S. Treasury take back monetary policy.
Abolish the 16th amendment.
Abolish the 17th amendment.
The slippery slope to despotic democracy is paved by those three issues. Remove them and we become more federalists as a nation.
The problem is with men. They believe they can ameliorate suffering. They can't. Never could and never will. When the say they can or try they are only kicking the can down the road. Suffering, mis and malinvestment needs to be worked out quickly and swiftly. IMO that is the fundamental idea behind a federalist republic. The Federal Reserve, the 16th and the 17th are antithetical to a federalist system the founders envisioned.

Ok sure, whatever. Still less socialist than the opposition.

I’ve been reading this board since before Obama’s first term. A common theme on this board is anger and unkindness. Even after Trump was elected most on this board found a way to constantly bitch.
The Trump idolatry is a weird little niche that will eventually run its course but the overall theme hasn’t changed and will be here long after MAGA has died on the vine.

Nope. Same Central planning.
Planned economies with anti market strategies are all more "socialist" than markets.

The Founders would flip in their graves if the government actually incorporated Scripture as policy.

Your list is pretty close to the collective sentiment.

I would like for starters the federal government to NOT run a deficit.
