I think Hillary and Trump were the two worst candidates our two-party shitshow has ever produced. The fact that anyone voted for either one of them makes me truly ashamed of my country, and shows just how broken things are.
Hillary is in a world of her own making, as is Trump. I have never respected Hillary. She stood by her man because she wanted to stay in the White House. She’s a conniving lowlife. The evidence is in abundance and I’ve barely scratched the surface.
Trump made many legal moves I fully backed. BTW, I did not vote for him, nor Hillary, in 2016 but voted Trump the second time around after he proved himself. It was a few short weeks into his term that I supported him, and thought “Wow, that’s good keep it up” and he did. There were things Trump did that I didn’t like…mostly about appearances; but I’ve come to learn that appearances matter much less than actual deeds.
Like almost all political campaigns, Trump said he’d remove most of Obama’s actions (some he did) and then we get the same thing from Biden that he’s going to axe all of Trump’s policies, yet he’s continued many of them hoping nobody’s going to notice I guess lol We cannot say that these two particular politicians are alone in this respect. That is something the voters can demand to change with adding a battery of tests during campaign cycles. I’m a big supporter of submitting presidential candidates to IQ, world knowledge, and personality tests to show their worth.
Jumping back to your comments, is it primarily the way Trump acts or did you not like his policies? You can only pick one or the other lol Most libertarians despise limited choices, would you agree? The first time around I didn’t vote for Trump because I didn’t like how I thought he would represent our country. As I stated, however, I have grown to learn that what is done on paper as opposed to what is said is more consequential for us citizens.
Added thought: All lies and coverups should result in immediately ousting politicians from office. We’d have to backtrack a few hundred years to cover that one. The fact that it’s happening so much now is mind-boggling, particularly considering the current level of technology and information widely available. They will continue this charade until a third-party candidate wins.
Foundation of my views: good actions promote life/health/safety/freedoms while bad decisions result in death/destruction/chaos/deception. Then we have some decisions that appear good on paper which turn out to be the worst decisions ever. The intent gives us good or bad at the get go, and outcomes tell us how to improve. I don’t understand why so many “bad” decisions are allowed to be made at the top and middle, even with hidden payoffs as incentives. I reject all efforts moving us towards a police state, and we need the pendulum to swing back.
I am blown away that we are living in 2021, not 1821, yet most of us commoners fight over the most inconsequential things. This of course gives those on the hill the ability to run amok. There is a motive to keep things this way. If libertarians ever do decide to unite, what a difference we could all make to force political transparency.
