The GOP base cares a lot more about Cultural issues than economic issues like Healthcare
eh, they were just an okay trio of movies that had a mass culture behind them
Cultural issues like Guns and immigration
I don't think so @Walter Johnson
Look at ben Shapiro, he has the biggest following of any right winger and he's a major economy guy
Rush Limbaugh might be a good culture guy I dunno
I don't listen to him
And who won in 2016, Rand Paul or Donald Trump?
There's a reason why fiscal conservatives like Paul Ryan, Flake, and Corker are retiring
If the economy was that important, Trump would've never beat Rand, but the cultural aspects are more powerful than anything else.
@FLanon the thing is, you never fully know what the odds are
so it's best to always campaign as if you do have a chance to win
if you lose, you at least did everything in control
if you win, you will KNOW that you would NOT have won if you didn't try
These sort of historical pivots like Korea are much larger on the grand scale than when it comes to how people think of Trump than compromise.
Yeah, Trump's said in a rally when he saw that the exit polls didn't look so good that "at least we tried everything, now we can't blame ourselves"
It's a good mindset, you really have to give it your all
^^^That's the US electorate from two different studies
Kind of a bummer people don't care about the free market anymore...
Short term
I honestly couldn't care less about the free market in the grand scale of things
@zakattack04 The Donors do
long term it means countries like china our going to beat us in innovation and economic power.
@FLanon America is only where it is because of free enterprise, that was a core of our founders.
Yeah, that's why Trump's message was so important, if we're going to give an economic message, it has to relate more to how it makes families' lives better other than just making costs lower.
That and Western culture
"Free enterprise" under certain limits
no founding father supported global corporatism
Anyways, if we make a decision when it comes to economies, we have to take a different viewpoint than "capitalist or communist"
They believed in capitalism with protectionist trade policy
When we make a decision, we have to think "will this improve the life of the average American household"?
Free markets do, it's only being abandoned because left leaning economies are easier.
always easier to receive than create
under some limits
And I guess improve is relative.
You can improve their life by giving them a house healthcare and acar
Should we do that?
Maybe if it is proportionally better and will result in a more positive effect
What?
