Hardly. Deploying the US military domestically to break up protesters.
I think you mean defending Federal Property.
You did however convince me to vote, just not for your criminal, pedophile, finger fucking rapist, traitor.
Wow, I wish I could muster so much passion over a candidate. My position is tepid at best. Question for you Careinke. Do you think the tribalism will get worse before it gets better in the US?
Yea and I didn't even mention his hair fetish.
In regards to more tribalism, I certainly hope so! Especially since it is counter globalism. Tribal societies are the most stable of societies and were around a long long time before agriculture. Tribalism is the antithesis of socialism, which has never worked for long.
Most of the people Living in the middle east are tribalists, with loyalty starting with the family, then to the tribe, then to their religious sect, and then to their country.
As an Agorist, the Democrats with their obsession for control, including the willful use of coercion, disgusts me. Using Federal agents to spy on the oppositions campaign also disgusts me. Finally, they have no platform to fix things.
People need to take care of themselves and their kids first, then expand outward from the family to extended family, neighbors and friends, after that consider helping others in areas you are skilled in or maybe trading with some one who is better skilled in certain things. Keeping things tight also quickly identifies the slackers and takers, who can be easily dealt with.
That said, I support a large UBI (Twice the poverty level) which is socialist, and I had been against. I changed my mind because it is the only way I can think of that will dampen the impact of the coming global depression. Folks, the robots and AI are here, and a lot of jobs are quickly going away. I feel the UBI could strengthen the family, raise wages for those who want to work, eliminate most if not all federal poverty programs downsizing government, and finally increase privacy.
I would also like to eliminate all corporate health plans. Corporate Health Plans act as a leash, preventing employees from leaving the company for fear of losing their health insurance. Your health insurance should not be tied to your job in a free society. Perhaps the government could offer very basic insurance. But allow other Insurance companies to offer their own plans. Having been a military brat, then a military officer, most of my life has been under socialized medicine. Except in the military, the doctors "Advice" is actually an order, so the results are much better.
Since I am on a roll... I would like to end racism by declaring there is only one race, HUMAN. Yes we all have genetic differences and all have specific risks and advantages based on our genes, but we are all human. I would ban hate crimes since you can't legislate emotions. Instead, it would just be a crime, no matter who was involved.
Finally, I would eliminate all crimes that did not have a victim. If there is not a victim, it's not a crime, and no, you can't be your own victim.
Did you notice none of my recommendations involved coercion against HUMANS?
