I’m not sure who has “zero interest” in it and would need to see specific examples. I think every conservative wants to limit government power in certain key areas. But also every conservative, if they are conservative at all, wants to wield and even expand government power in other areas. For example, if you favor a national ban on abortion (as I do) then you are advocating for an expansion of government power and authority beyond what it currently exercises in at least one key area. So if you are finding that some conservatives are pushing back on the “limited government” slogan, it’s not because they disagree across the board in principle but rather because they find the slogan generic, unclear, and useless — and they’ve also noticed that literally no Republican in at least 100 years has actually made government smaller and less powerful in aggregate, which again speaks to the slogan being rather useless in practice.
@MattWalshBlog But I doubt most of us are thinking of the levels that would be required to truly limit federal spending etc…
The special interest/ lobbyist groups have a heck of a hold yet.
@MattWalshBlog The kind of limits required to move the needle would be so substantive, that the opposition would collectively lose their minds… to put it mildly.
@tmar106@alohasofia_ It’s easier to convince a fool than it is to convince him that he has been fooled.
All they really have left is fear and manipulation of the perspective on any given topic.
All the more reason to ignore them while they flap their gums into the void.
@alohasofia_ I think climate change is real - and a natural cycle of earth but the reasons they tell us are bs. They take advantage of something natural to scare us into more control and taxes 😂
This is an incredibly important thread - arm yourself with the facts and the truth. Why are they still free to act with impunity? They are subverting the govt & agitating to overthrow the entire system of governance.
@laralogan He’s basically a modern / media embodiment of dr evil…
Perhaps literally, but as a figure to direct public hate toward also.
The fact that we know his name is an indication that he’s at least partly a pawn…
Imo…
Dear burrito people. There is a better way.
Eat NY Strip. I fed my family of 7 with 3 NY strip steaks at $9.99/# from costco =$40.
Didnt need any other accouterments
30 minutes of effort to feed a family the best dinner possible.
Just do that.
@Sassafrass_84 Sounds like a decent Tshirt waiting to happen...
I might have to make that...
if enough ppl happen to see this...
let me know if i should make a shirt.
Just a psa:
I am a Radicalized Americanist.
I believe in the Declaration of Independence.
I believe in the Bill of Rights.
I believe in the United States Constitution.
Not “global citizenship.”
Not open borders.
Not rewriting history to make America the villain.
Not apologizing for the greatest nation God ever allowed to exist.
If that makes me radical in 2026…
then radical is exactly what this country needs.
Sorry that it took so long Mrs. Wood.
Thank you @libsoftiktok for sharing.
Glad to hear that its technically resolved.
I was accosted by security at Durham VA, they tried to force a mask on me, had to hold one to my face just to walk out.
This crap is ridiculous. They treat Veterans like criminals when we try to update an ID, or go to an appointment.
It should be as simple as one call to make a dozen requests via the VA... medical, dental, housing, appointments, travel, ALL of it.
Its almost like they dont want actual solutions when they can milk the system for more $ my being Morons drug around by their noses via buracuracy.
