Sweden  gave up socialism sometime I think either in the 90s or early 2000

And this wasn’t a Swedish election. It was in the Netherlands

@LMAO

I stand corrected.

Thank you.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

The differences between Donald Trump’s economic nationalism and Javier Milei’s anarcho-capitalism are obvious, but that doesn’t make it incoherent to celebrate them both, or to call them both right-wing populists.

Celebrations by the MAGA right of Javier Milei’s victory in the Argentine presidential election have been met with accusations of incoherence. This says as much about the critics as it does global right-wing populism.

The differences between Donald Trump’s economic nationalism and Milei’s self-described anarcho-capitalism, even tempered by the guaranteed compromises of party government, are obvious. But they share more than “owning the libs.” Or, rather, such liberal ownership is more than an emotionally reactionary opportunity for schadenfreude, but a coherent, if often inarticulate, program of political restoration—that is, restoring the political to politics.

Milei, like Trump, puts persons, and personality, above process and programs.

The temptation for the conservative commentariat, Republican electioneers, and think-tank theorists, on the other hand, has been an effort to make a system out of MAGA and to define the populist moment by a set of principles.  ...

My hope is Trump combines some generous anarcho capitalism with his populism in his hypothetical Presidency, otherwise his President may be as disastrous as Biden's. And God knows what we'll get in 2028 then.

@Weird Tolkenish Figure

I do. A leftist police state.

We are ALMOST there now. If anyone BUT Trump becomes the next President,we are officially  screwed.

A President that has his eyes on the history books and who can ONLY serve ONE TERM is the only hope we have for the survival of America as a free nation of free people.

Even then it  is nothing  but  a "maybe" because come the next election,the Dims are going to be ready with a "stealth" communist  candidate. This is why I hope Trump picks a VP running mate that has HIS eye on the future.

I know exactly what we will get in 2028 if Trump is elected, at least 8 years of democrat rule, and Trump will never pick anyone for for VP that is strong because he can't allow his ego to be outshone that's why we got milquetoast Pence. And at Trumps age people will definitely be looking at the VP when considering who to vote for because no one wants an weakling standing in the wings.

Who ever the Democrats run in 2024 will win regardless who the GOP nominee is.

I'm not, neither am a orange butt monkey, I'm just reality based and it takes no crystal ball to see that even if Trump won, we would lose, the communists would have majorities in both houses and Trump would be a lame duck president all four years. And just like his first term nothing would be accomplished except by erasable EO's.....oh except of course his rubber stamping every insane spending bill put forth by the democrats. Yay so much winning to look forward too!

REMARKABLE! In his first act, newly sworn President of Argentina, Javier Milei, signs an executive order reducing the Argentine government from 21 Departments to 9. A major reduction of bureaucracy and overhead. Impressive.
