you accuse alot of people of that bullshit, even me who voted LIBERTARIAN, but then we get to watch you lie to yourself and claim nobody believes I voted Libertarian anyway. you fuckers are a shit show of entertainment with your idiot delusions
I forgive you. You do not know what you do. You happily back the Repubs who simply and clearly work for the top 1 percent. You are in a coma created by a litany of right-wing lies.
Look, anyone who spread a lie about the 2020 election being rigged/stolen/whatever and DIDN'T go to DC on 1/6/21 to do anything about it clearly does not hold the sincere belief that it was, or they are active grifters.
Accusing the 2020 election of being stolen, without proof, would be the greatest attack on this country EVER, which would warrant more than shitposting under multiple socks on JPP.
If the Republic was at stake, as they said it was, and all they did was sit here and anonymously shitpost on JPP, then that should make you question the sincerity of their beliefs instead of blindly accepting them, accommodating them, or indulging them.
Put up or shut up.
And voting Libertarian is the same thing as voting GOP because they both have the same policy outcomes.
There you go again. You have no idea how wrong and dangerous you are. Trump is all for ending the American experiment. You must be too.
What insult? What evidence. you are losing it worse than normal.

Shot. As long as you’re going authoritarian may as well do the full Monty.
You are walking around blind. Trump and every other damn right-wing president gave huge tax breaks to the wealthy and corporations. They cut regulations, which are what protects the people from the corporate and wealthy malfeasance. Corporations have invested tons of money lying about regulations. Some of us laugh at the crappy attempts. Repubs buy it, all of it. The wealth gap is at all-time highs and is obscene. You do not care. You think poor people and immigrants are looting you. You are as usual looking in the wrong direction.
You are not aware enough to discuss it.

Not all regulations result in positive outcomes. Many are unnecessarily onerous, others can be pedantic and overreaching. Just because the government makes a regulation doesn't mean We the People need that regulation. In fact, in many cases laws and regulations help increase the concentration of wealth rather than prevent it. For example, if government is enticed to make lots of labor laws, such as mandatory union participation, or forcing workers to obtain costly certifications and other requirements to hold a particular job, then scarcity will result and those able to get into such positions make out while many others that might qualify but cannot afford the time and effort to get all the required paperwork are kicked to the curb.
Government malfeasance and corruption occur and will occur at an increasing rate as government grows in size and power.

Squawkie? Oh yeah, and stupid as ever. No matter how long you have him on the ignore list, he'll religiously dog your posts and threads in hopes that you or others will notice him. Sad, isn't it?

"growth of government" doesn't seem to deter the concentration of wealth and the effort to erase The New Deal. Nor has it stopped the efforts to destroy unions, to treat corporations as people, money as "free speech", gutting of Civil Rights laws, etc., etc. So any complaint about the growth of government seems to be a matter of perspective.

It accelerates it. Big government means that only the rich, connected, and powerful can obtain large quantities of wealth and power.

Funny. Wealth and power have nothing to do with big or small government.

Big government concentrates wealth and power by its very nature.

Never heard of that. Please explain, goes against all history and political science.

It's quite simple and intuitive. Governments are about power and control. More government means government has more power and control. Government is also a monopoly. There is nothing to stop government from confiscating wealth for its own use.
Therefore, the more government you have, the greater the concentration of power and wealth is put into government. Totalitarian governments have far more power and wealth over a nation than does a limited and openly elected government.
Where a government must work with free markets, individuals that have the greatest wealth and power in the market will tend to collude with government to create a monopoly in which they and government seek to retain their power and wealth at the expense of society at large. That would be some form of Statist Capitalism. Socialism just has the government taking control of the means of production and the market doling out to the people what they, government, decides is fair and what the people deserve.

every day that goes by the people watch and laugh at liberals as they continually brainwash themselves to believe what they need to.
cognitive dissonance reigns supreme among the left these days
People as trained by the wealthy as you are, are destroying the concepts America was founded on. The Repub party works indirectly for the top 5 percent. Every Repub policy improves their lot at your expense. They are building a plutocracy and you are helping them.
