I go by alphaliberal because I'm an old fashioned type liberal in the mold of FDR and Truman, and Eisenhower to some extent. Those three did a real good job in keeping the country together through the Great Depression, WWII & Korea, and onto the 50s with the economic progress.
I believe in the social safety net, Social Security and other programs for those in need. I believe in unions and collective bargaining. I believe in private property. I believe in public schools not government indoctrination centers. I believe in individual freedom and free markets. I believe in the rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights and the mechanisms of government in the Articles of the Constitution. I believe in family and community.
So why does a liberal like me vote for Trump thrice?
He's pushing the old liberal values of jobs and investments at home. Only going to war when absolutely necessary and not just wars for money adventurism. He's also not a far rightwing radical religious conservative which is a big plus. A real liberal doesn't want transvestites in the girls locker room and sports. A real liberal proposes only 10% interest on credit cards as Trump has done. Or no taxes on Social Security as Trump has proposed.
I hope more liberals out there see what I see. Do I agree with everything Trump says? No. I especially do not like the likes of Mike Johnson and would rather someone like Matt Gaetz run the House or Rand Paul run the Senate. They are the true liberals not what we see out of the fascist illiberal DNC establishment goons.
So there you have it! :)
I dig it 👍
if dig vote up
Ewwww... vote for a liberal? :)
Welcome. We differ on some social issues, but here we don't disparage people we disagree with.
I'm happy for that. The only things I disparage are those who are against the Republic. Be they fascist, communists, those using religion to influence or divide government and the people, and an assortment of other idiots who have anything good to say.
I think more people than we know voted for Trump and the other side cheated. At the time, the media villainized Trump so much that people who secretly voted for him kept it a secret.
I think he won 2020 also. It was the mail in ballots which I bet 90 percent of them were rigged.
We are Liberal. We believe in Liberty. They are leftist/ communists who call themselves liberal. Conservative means you want shit to stay the way it is because you are afraid. Our founders were Liberals who believed in a God who gave us rules to follow. The tories wanted to stick with the king because they were chickenshit.
Very true. The Founders were quite liberal. Not FDR liberal, but liberal. Liberal enough to know individuals and families didn't want every aspect of their personal lives under the microscope. Thus the no quartering of soldiers in people's homes.
They added the 9th amendment! Meaning just because certain rights are listed doesn't mean a plethora of other rights were to be trampled on. Like the pet squirrel thing.
We live in a police state.
I'm sorry but that makes you a right-wing wacko republican these days.
Yeah I know. Its funny but not funny because the DNC is literally calling a liberal like me garbage and a CommuNazi.
Kek. The word liberal has been fucked for a while now. The modern ‘liberal’ is really just a psychologically and physiologically damaged individual whose entire id has been hijacked by a pervasive satanic doctrine which has successfully programmed entire generations to reject reason and God progressively over a period of about a hundred years. You are a true liberal it sounds like. we should take back our words.
If you actually believed in and respected the Constitution, you would know that some of the things you advocate for are unConstitutional.
