No. They are not.
You fail to recognize that smaller government is not an option when you turn a blind eye to the rampant dismantling of the rule of law, not men, the right to redress the government, and the sanctity of free and fair elections.
Yes, it is. Foolishness.
The election remains the very same: The only corruption that matters is that which you can prove. In court. Nothing new in that... And Democrats have been rigging elections since Hector was a pup.
Rule of Law is being dismantled? Well, yes, in liberal cities. Not anywhere else. Certainly not here, or the other red states.
And Tumpy is going RIGHT NOW to face his accusers - In a court.
So take a breath... There is a reason why folks ain't buying into your drama. This is court... Wholly different than the media driven drivel so many get bound up over. Proof requires verity, unlike in the media. If he doesn't get a fair shake, appellate courts are standing by.
All is now being systematically moved under the "principles" of rule by lawfare, intimidation and election interference. Opposition to the federal regime ---- at any level or for any reason ---- will soon be impossible.
Well first off, 'lawfare' is no principle. Nice try. But neither is it anything new in liberal cities and states. And you should have thought of all this when you were in power, and building that bigger, better federal government. Now it is just that much more for the Democrats to build upon.
But I deny the premise generally. Red states are becoming more FREE. Nullification has shifted gears. The play is going to fail, unless of course the dollar crashes... Maybe it wasn't a good idea to print so much money, eh?
You are becoming more powerless with each passing day. Get your priorities straight, while you still can.
No I am not. Unlike where you are, people here are liberty minded... and still very likely to survive the coming crash. We are not tied to the idea of the ponderous government you have... And the ponderous government y'all left us at the federal level has been largely nullified.
Which is neither here nor there. I will die free. FAFO. Come and take it. You will find the inland Northwest and the Rocky Mountains entirely unaccommodating. And the same can be said all across flyover country.
And I can always walk off where government can't go. The principles I live by are still kept close by all of us out here. I switched to subsistence living years past now... I need very little from society... Which means there are damn few levers to use on me... My present condition excepted of course.
