I am against progressives period

Depends on what you consider "progressive"

They'll lead us to the abyss in my opinion

You know what "progress" we need?

i think the erosion of some traditions like family structure have only proved detrimental to society

A US rail system, a mars colony, not cutting your cock off because you're autistic

nah mars isnt economically viable yet

waste of money at the moment IMHO

We should keep out of foreign countries and cut defense budget

a rail system would be nice though. super expensive. at least a centralized rail system for the east coast

yeah defense budget should be waaaay reduced

Any country which is not a danger to US national security should be left alone

what do you guys think of protectionism

i know its communist in practice

It's called DEFENSE, so it should be used for that purpose, not world police or growing heroin

"communist" nah

but some industries in the US should be supported

There's good regulation and bad regulation in my opinion.

I would say more than just keeping out of foreign countries

Stop sending money to the UN and other european countries

Good regulations include keeping corps from putting xenoestrogens in the consumption chain, bad regulations include the requirements to be an accredited investors and unnecessary licensing for small business

i think tarriffs and import quotas on foreign vehicles is fine in some cases

the us auto industrys health is good for the country

we need to protect that sector

I think as for the defense, definitely send the UN to some other globalist country like Canada, and NATO is irrelevant after the cold war.

rent control is a socialist practice

and only increases rent prices

price floors for US agriculture is commie practice too

but thats good for national security

As for protectionism, I support it to make keeping business in the US more cost-effective for business

also we're like the largest exporter of food

well the most cost effective solution would be to outsource labor in third world countries

I'm a bit interested in neo-merchantilism for our trade model.

lower wages is the most cost effective method

Not if we raise tariffs

mercantilism is socialist policy

that means government controls trade

fully to balance the trade budget

which we are not balanced at the moment since we import more than we export

thats juist more government control though
