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! :)
If you actually believed in and respected the Constitution, you would know that some of the things you advocate for are unConstitutional.
