This is the place to discuss political ideology and those things that pertain to it. And why it is what it is. The 2A just a part of that. If it was a subject on it's own, then a 2A thread would be necessary.
Where are you getting this from? It's simply not true.

I consider myself a fiscal and constitutional conservative. I believe in small, less intrusive government. Taxes only enough to pay what the federal government has to have, that's defined by the constitution. And allow the states to dictate only those things that aren't allowed in the constitution.
As in no funding for gender studies. No banning bump stocks. No debt ceiling increases. No corporate welfare. Social welfare on very limited terms.
No policing the world. Have a military that just large enough to defend ourselves from any country.
We trade will all willing nations. Those that don't want to trade, we simply don't trade with them.
We don't get involved in other countries politics dealing with their own citizens.
What am I?
I've always thought this was conservatism. But seems conservatives like Trump & McCarthy are considered conservatives.
So which is it? I know I'm not a libertarian, because I don't support Tranny's and druggies having more rights than anyone else. And I'm all for very harsh punishment for those who victimize he innocent. Regardless of their situation.
There's no way I could support those who increase the debt ceiling as Trump and Biden have done. Or assault our 2A, even with something as simple as a bump stock ban.
That's an interesting anecdote, and i trust that you're telling the truth, though you really didn't describe anything other than the personal concerns of a local chairperson. There's certainly nothing in the platform about "special rights for special people". I vehemently oppose identity politics and wouldn't support a party playing that game.It is true. I seen it with my own eyes and ears. Was told by the incoming LP local chairperson that my opposition to trannies and druggies wouldn't be welcome under her leadership. Every damn meeting, that's all they talked about was how to get drugs legalized and how unfair everyone was to trannies. When we'd get on an important subject, it was quickly discussed and ended, because that was boring.
It seems like the republican party comes closest to your personal political agenda. Why not support Trump?I consider myself a fiscal and constitutional conservative. I believe in small, less intrusive government. Taxes only enough to pay what the federal government has to have, that's defined by the constitution. And allow the states to dictate only those things that aren't allowed in the constitution.

Maybe a lot of them know and don't care, and support him for other reasons.Tell ya what, send me a billion $$$ and I'll give it a go. But I'm not promising anything. I can't even get these Trumpbots to see how much of a democrat Trump still is.
How can you call yourself a "fiscal conservative" when you have no knowledge of the economy or finance? No debt ceiling increases - How about not spending more than than next 10 countries in the world on military spending, because 8 of the top 10 spenders are your own allies.
Instead of insisting the rest of us waste as much money on our military as you do on yours, why don't YOU cut your spending to something you can actually AFFORD.
As for trade - we need rules. Because otherwise, your large big box corporations will hollow out our retail and manufacturing the same way they hollowed out yours. Or you'll dump your growth hormone laced milk off on our children, for cheap. No thank you. We've all seen what happens with your nation when there are no trading rules. How you'll destroy our home grown industries and businesses for your own profit.
Look what you've done to Tim Hortons. Corporate makes WAY more money. The store owners get nothing.

I see you are one of those rubes who still bleevs the GOP is fiscally conservative.@YoursTruly
You seem to be forgetting that there was a global pandemic in 2020, which accounted for the bulk of Trump's spending. Other than that, Trump's deficit was running a lower deficit than Obama's first term.
Even the US Treasury Department admits that:
"Since 2001, the federal government’s budget has run a deficit each year. Starting in 2016, increases in spending on Social Security, health care, and interest on federal debt have outpaced the growth of federal revenue.
From FY 2019 to FY 2021, federal spending increased by about 50 percent in response to the COVID-19 pandemic."

Trump's $500 billion Platinum Plan to help revitalize black communities also had a proposal to prosecute the Klan and Antifa as terrorist organizations, but I don't know whatever became of that. Trump just never gets a break. At the same time he signed the Platinum Plan into law, the left was howling like monkeys and accusing him of being a "racist bigot."

That's all the GOP is today. Performative assholery.Pissing off leftists is a sport
I see you are one of those rubes who still bleevs the GOP is fiscally conservative.
Simply amazing, this willful blindness on the part of you bumpkins!
BEFORE COVID:
Trump Proposes a Record $4.75 Trillion Budget
THE HOAX:
Trump: I will eliminate U.S. debt in 8 years
The Fact:
US budget deficit balloons to nearly $1 trillion for fiscal 2019
DURING COVID:
Trump says he wants a bigger stimulus package than the $2.2 trillion amount that Democrats are seeking
The deficit grew smaller and smaller during Obama's reign. Under Trump, it EXPLODED.

This is not a fact. It's an ignorant assumption, sold to us by the two parties who benefit from it, and accepted by ignorant voters who fall for it.The fact is that we live in a 2-party country, and for folks like you and me we have 2 choices
Yep. Pro-wrestling. All they way down.That's all the GOP is today. Performative assholery.
There's no "right" to use any particular restroom, regardless of gender. Where do you see libertarians advocating for this kind of nonsense?When a tranny gets to walk into a womens restroom, that's a special right.
See above. Libertarians don't advocate for state interference in these matters.When they get to win trophies for beating women, in a womens sports, that's a "special right."
Again, you'll have to show me where libertarian ideas advocate for this kind of crap. Libertarians argue that drugs shouldn't be controlled by the state - that people have the right buy, sell or ingest what ever crap they want to consume. But they're not arguing for anyone to have special rights.[When druggies get to carry up to a certain amount of meth, without getting arrest, but god forbid a decent person puts a pain pill or two into their other meds (for just in case) and gets caught and arrest, that's a special right.
And where do you see libertarians advocating this as a legal matter? You don't.People getting fired for not using some fictiuous pronoun........
OK....So it's a lost cause and you just want to snivel.
