Hello.

I did not vote for trump

thats fine

Also, Vice Presidency is a worthless position with no real power, it was meant to contain Theodore's disruptions.

Theodore actually wanted to reject the position, he felt it wouldn't suit his aggressive political style. Regardless, corporations started advertising Theodore as the new candidate for Vice Presidency before Theodore was even running for VP.

i bet he had a mean ole set of man titties on him too

real angry and milky lookin

that's kind of gay though

sorry. woman tits

I want to touch donald trumps man titties

he had a voluptuous set of jugs

So my ultimate point is, political corruption bad. Trust busting was needed, the political bosses of the 20th century deserved punishment.

i'm curious to eventually read some of the criticisms news outlets back in the day printed on our greatest presidents

see how it lines up with todays headlines

I know Lincoln was so hated there were near riots when he campaigned

we love our cops, our law enforcement

There are retards, some in this server, who believe Lincoln was a tyrant. My question for those: How great would America be if our union dissolved?

lolbertarians are kinda right about the police honestly though

I mean we already have numerous neoliberal police states, we might as well repurpose them to fit a more nationalistic goal.

America isn't necessarily open about it, but we have the developed infrastructure to spy on millions of people.

Instead of spying on criminals, corporate leaders and degenerate celebrities, we spy on the average Joe.

Wrong question. How great would the US be if decentralization was more of a thing? How great would it be if states could go their own way to an even greater extent?

Also Lincoln on central banking and paper money, poor record there

but then, nothing is a purely black and white issue...

If Lincoln allowed more decentralization under the context of a succeeding south, the only next possible step would the dissolution of the union.

FWIW, I'm more of a fan of the original articles of confederation circa 1781

but it is all water under the bridge at this point

Which would've given the states nearly complete control, pulling apart our country in a pluralistic mess of 13 differing interests.

Keeping government small or nonexistant on the national level

if you don't like the state gov, then easier to vote with your feet

A non-existent federal govt.? Ah yes, I suppose the states would voluntary stay in an arbitrary union.

have you ever read mises.org ?

I don't listen to libertarian news, and I'm sure that if I did, I wouldn't be converted. I'm already too opinionated.

There's good and bad

What I will say about libertarians is that I respect their independence. They don't care about political normalcy, and they don't sacrifice on their beliefs.

I don't like the excessive idealism in the face of realpolitik, sometimes they make the perfect the enemy of the good

I'd like to see how some of these ivory tower academics would perform if they were in the game. It is like a sports commentator saying 'what he would do', but he's not in the game and will never play pro

yup^

Politics is what it is, we have to deal with it either incrementally or however we can
