This is probably the most intelligent group of right-wing thinkers I've encountered on the internet so far.
It wasn't until maybe two years ago when I came across the kia2 reddit and discovered people who understood the truths of this world - whose arguments convinced me to start caring more about politics & to stop being a fence sitter. For that, I thank all of you.
I'm simply curious as to how any of you would describe your ideology. Libertarian? Nationalist? Generally anti-globalist? I see a lot of tradcon bashing and I know most of you aren't fans of mainstream Republicans.
Also, are there any real-world politicans you would like to see dominate the national stage? (Much like how the "socialists" want to see Bernie as president).
Above all I want the federal government's impact in my life to be absolutely minimal. I'm fine with states tinkering with their own versions of governance. Socialized healthcare may actually work in Vermont while being a train wreck in Tennessee. Empower the bottom, not the top. Let states, counties, and municipalities make determinations about healthcare, education, crime, etc, and get federal money out of the equation as much as possible.
Energy - we need to deregulate and pass laws giving energy companies greater protections against lawsuits from eminent domain issues (the pendulum swings back and forth on this over the decades but right now building pipelines is a nightmare). We need a long term energy policy that encourages the expansion of refinery capacities. It's a bottleneck and it's getting worse, with no hope on the horizon.
Our mental health system has never been worse, and deinstitutionalization has caused a humanitarian crisis that's only noticeable when some wayward sick person shoots up a school.
Keep your hands off my guns.
