I’m not even sure I know the definition of a liberal or conservative now. It used to be that conservatives liked small government, especially at the federal level. Today, it seems like many “conservatives” are fine with a dictator at the federal level.

Politics Post in thread 'What Happened to American conservatism?'

It was always a lie. Every bit of it. The hypocrisy and the incoherence and the inconsistency has always been the point. It’s about power for power’s sake. It has no other aim, no other goal, no other desire, no other ambition other than power for power’s sake, to benefit a select few at the expense of many. It does not want progress. It wants hierarchy. It does not want equal opportunity. It does not seek common good. It is a movement built inherently upon fear and insecurity.

Sincerely,

A Former American Conservative

Wonder how the poll numbers would look if the question asked “marines” instead of “national guard”? Think there would be a little more pause on that question.

The better question, IMO.....

Do Dems disagree because of states rights or is it because they really aren't that concerned about rioting and looting.

Many Dem state leaders seem uncomfortably content with rioting, arson and looting.

In large part because there's a better system to manage that than government sponsored jackbooted thuggery and is less dangerous to America. That's just off the top of my head.

Thinking about Floyd riots, as an example, what system is better than strong law enforcement and national guard?

Ridiculous. We live in the richest country at the best time ever for humanity. Are there issues? Of course. There has never been a time where there are not issues. But an average American today has it better than 99.999% of any human that has ever existed.

Would guess these were flipped 2-3 years ago. I was pretty happy in 2022, didn’t have to worry a thing about anyone being kidnapped, us in global wars or tariff costs.

Honest question
Why do you worry about this? I can understand things not being what you want for everyone everywhere but it’s preposterous to wake up today and think one second about being kidnapped or you (in the US) being in some kind of global conflict. We are totally insulated. It’s fine to be sad for your fellow man in other areas of the world but for you to be worried about this is odd.

He said worrying "about anyone being kidnapped" and yes, immigrants actually have been kidnapped right off the streets here in the USA and detained for very long stretches without clear justification, or even deported.
