Just to clear the air: I’m a conservative, but that doesn’t mean what a lot of you apparently think it does. Let’s break it down, because I’m tired of being told what I believe and what I stand for. Spoiler: not every conservative is the same, but most of us I know share these same principles.
1. I believe America should never depend on another country for energy, protection, or basic supply and demand. We are strongest when we build, produce, and protect things right here in the USA.
2. I believe America must put itself first. We cannot pour from an empty cup. Our country should prioritize our own people before trying to save the world.
3. I believe America should stay out of endless foreign conflicts. We are not the world’s bodyguards , and we shouldn’t act like it.
4. I believe no foreign aid should be given until every veteran at home is taken care of.
5. I believe immigrants make America stronger — when they come legally. If your first act in this country is breaking the law, you aren’t an upstanding citizen.
6. You can marry who you want. Your life is not mine to judge.
7. I believe men are men and women are women. Surgery or hormones don’t change that. Men should use men’s bathrooms, and women should use women’s bathrooms.
8. I believe schools are for education, not indoctrination. Kids should learn math, history, reading, and science - not political propaganda. They should not be taught they were “born in the wrong body” or pushed into gender delusion.
9. I believe America is in a mental health crisis. Mental health care is real, it matters, and it desperately needs to be addressed.
10. I believe guns aren’t the problem - people are. Gun control only infringes on constitutional rights. And the criminals will still have/get them. And I also believe in common sense: background checks are necessary to keep firearms out of the hands of the mentally ill.
I’m a conservative because I believe in faith, family, freedom, and personal responsibility. I don’t want a government that controls every aspect of our lives - I want a government that protects our rights, secures our borders, defends our freedoms, and then gets out of the way. Most importantly I don’t have a problem with calling out either side of the political aisle or any president if I feel they infringe on the rights of the AMERICAN people.
We are strongest when Americans take care of America first, when families are supported, when our veterans are honored, and when our children are given truth, not propaganda. I love this country, and I believe it’s worth fighting for.
Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.
Fantastic post, can he pick line items out a bill or does he have to do entire sections or an entire bill? How does the targeting for what to cut work?
Can you freaking imagine if he can balance the budget?!!!!
The market would explode!
The Left would melt down!
All other presidents would have to follow suit and be measured by what Trump has down!
The beginning of a true American Renaissance!
Ah, the Constitution again — such a nuisance when it gets in the way of political messianism, right?
Judges exist precisely to intervene when laws are bent or broken — even (and especially) by elected officials. That’s called checks and balances, champ. You don’t get to elect a strongman and then suspend judicial review like it’s a reality show finale.
You say the courts shouldn’t “intervene” in lawbreaking? Then what — hand out pom-poms and cheer it on?
The “evil administration” logic is a tired excuse to dismantle legal process. Biden can be criticized, sure — but deporting half a million people without due process isn’t “fixing a problem,” it’s erasing the law to enforce ideology.
No one elected the judges?
Correct. Because we don’t elect referees in a democracy — we appoint them to keep the game fair.
@thehill I don't know about Wisconsin, but in Florida, when you lose an off year, special election by 15 % , either you are a deeply flawed candidate or your message is out in left field.
Chuck Schumer admits progressive judges installed to stop Trump at every turn.
It’s all rigged!
If you think Trump didn’t plan for this the past four years, you haven’t been paying attention!
