It’s hard to respond because I basically never like a single piece of Republican legislation. In spirit, l often agree with them.


Trump has kind of skewed this question. He’s doing a lot of protectionist stuff economically that is more left than traditionally right. Then he won’t follow through domestically though, so I find myself in half-agreement with him a lot.

I’m not a flag waver but I love America. Like I would have gave Pakistan five minutes to hand over Bin Laden, or started leveling Islamabad .I don’t mind drones. I have no issue with dealing with terrorists nations severely even with civilian casualties. Let it be a lesson to the next nation if they love their children, don’t let terrorists set up shop. How to go about any of that stuff I often disagree with the right on though. I’m not interested in spreading democracy or nation building. Just the hammer when they fuck with us. That been traditionally in the spirit of the right, but Obama probably was way tougher than Trump on drones and such.

I don’t care about transgendered rights beyond the small % actually born with an innersex condition. The rest, imo, are mentally ill, and I care about the mentally ill, but let’s get the conversation right. I’m not going to indulge illness that isn’t seeking a cure. It’s like everyone agreeing the government has inserted a metal plate into your head and sending you messages through your microwave. We don’t seek to accommodate schizophrenics. We seek to treat them. I think transgendered ideas are some dysmorphia or mental illness. They should be helped by the mental health system, not agree that it’s natural and healthy.

I would generally be for quite low business taxes if we could close the loopholes.

I think we’ve lost our minds with certain entitlements. We need to close the SSDI money pit. I know a lot of people who collect like $1600 month SSDI permanently and have businesses that they openly advertise on Facebook to everyone in town. Dudes who permanently get checks forever for back problems laying concrete and driving bmws. People report them, nothing happens, at all. I know a half dozen people who have businesses and collect this and they’re all doing pretty well to very well. It irritates me that people work full time shit jobs for what these people get this each month. It really pisses me off that guys work hard until 65 and it might get raised and many of these people are grifting until the grave from their 30s and 40s. .

Almost all entitlements need to be more closely monitored and people need to be incentivized to work and get off then. An area like I live, where wages are low, you just create a situation where it’s dumb to work for many. I also have no issue with drug testing anyone on something like Medicaid or SDDi or anyone single who happens to be on food stamps. I’m not into starving children because their parents are idiots. Where I diverge from the right is I’d only sign off on drug testing for Medicaid if we also test for obesity related issues. I’m not drug testing for judgement purposes. I’m looking to control costs. In both circumstances, I’d give windows for people to make positive changes before cutting them off whether their addiction is food or drugs. I view abuse of either as similar barring some legit metabolic disorder or medical condition which prohibits activity.

There are so very many spots where the left irritates me in that they encourage these entitlements, but then the GOP attempted fixes are poor in every almost instance because the way to monitor these things effectively requires government. The conservative solutions are poor. They always look to keep wages low or privatize shit, and hate the government, when what is required is a highly paid government officials making $120k a year who will dig into the financial minutiae and work tirelessly to stop the entitlement abuses. I don’t think people making $37k are motivated employees. I don’t want a sprawling government agency. I want qualified people with a large case file. Pay a few educated and motivated guys with a CPA to dig into the abuse and pay them well. I would trust one Grenada Roger to dig into SSDI abuse from a financial perspective over 15 low level employees.

These are the types of things I think are more in the spirit of the right, traditionally.
