The original American ethos, forged in the Founding era, centered on individual liberty as a God-given, inalienable right—not a grant from government. It held that people are created equal in their natural rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that governments exist solely to secure those rights, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. This produced a culture of self-reliance, personal responsibility, and suspicion of centralized power: citizens were expected to govern themselves through virtue, industry, and voluntary association rather than top-down coercion.
At its core was a belief in ordered liberty under law—republican self-government where free men could speak, worship, trade, innovate, and bear arms without arbitrary interference. It prized merit, experimentation, and the “pursuit of happiness” through one’s own efforts, while viewing tyranny, whether monarchical or majoritarian, as the eternal enemy. This wasn’t utopian equality of outcome or ethnic nationalism, but a radical confidence in the capacity of ordinary individuals to build prosperous lives if left largely free.

@dww3n @CoronadoCuatro @em_Lazzy How so?

[Duff Young @DuffYoung4]

@CoronadoCuatro @em_Lazzy Pretty straight! Sanctity of life, secure borders, and smaller government are the top few for me. He’s no deacon for sure, but he gets it done. What policy do you not like? Who could be more effective?

@Christi90711921 @Likeshesays Maybe Canadian pools reflect differently.

[Duff Young @DuffYoung4]

@Christi90711921 @Likeshesays Oh Christi-I don’t think you know the physics of a reflecting pool.

[Duff Young @DuffYoung4]

@Christi90711921 @Likeshesays There is no water in it to reflect. Observation skills- checkmate!

[Duff Young @DuffYoung4]

@Likeshesays No, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., is not complete as of June 3, 2026. Best I can tell.

@Likeshesays Look at the pic girl. That photo has no water. Trump just announced today they were filling it.

@chefsevenn Kinda looks like a cream gravy situation.

@sowelleconomics Not hiding the Marxism very well.

@jon_fischer @TheAtlantic Nobody at Atlantic is great.

[Duff Young @DuffYoung4]

@EricLDaugh The reflections will be biggly. Like no reflection we’ve ever seen before. Go @realDonaldTrump

@NancyMace Nancy. Make this happen and I’ll help make you VP or POTUS someday.

@miles_commodore I don’t know man, but if she’s in the swamp she needs to get outta there.

@EpochTimes The IRGC should be dust, a distant memory.

@otokyo Socialist Democrats and Islam coming together to push their agenda- that’s the biggest issue.

[Duff Young @DuffYoung4]

@chefsevenn Just short of burned with olive oil and salt.

@x_skeng Yet our government compels us to pay $5T a year in taxes and produce little if anything efficiently.
