This is so true. I thought at the time that Republicans were trying to do the right thing and the Ron Paul was a nice guy but overly worried about things to the point of being a bit wacky.
We all are at times, it’s ok to be wrong as long as you do the right thing when you see the truth. I suspect a lot of republicans in our coalition are recovered neocons, that’s an amazing thing.
Trump effectively ended the Patriot Act this year.
On March 10, 2020, Jerry Nadler proposed a bill to reauthorize the Patriot Act, and it was then approved the majority of US House of Representatives after 152 Democrats joined the GOP in supporting the extension.[14] The surveillance powers of the Patriot Act needed renewal by March 15, 2020,[12] and after it expired, the U.S. Senate approved an amended version of the bill.[13] After President Donald Trump threatened to veto the bill, the House of Representatives issued an indefinite postponement of the vote to pass the Senate version of the bill; as of June 2020, the Patriot Act remains expired.[259]
Figured when thinking about 9/11 that I should be thinking about Ron Paul. He woke me up.
The first time Ron Paul's name stood out for me was when I looked up who voted 'nay' to the Patriot Act.
I remember and pepe farms remembers, too.

It turns out he was 100% right. I was wrong.

True, trump is incredibly strong, just wish he would surround himself more with people like Paul.
