Well I'll start by saying ending the war on terror is a really bad idea, Trump has reduced numbers of troops in many places such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria to name a few, Germany he is pulling some and moving to a more appreciative place like Poland.
End the war on drugs?
Weed most don't care, but the other shit like fentanyl coming in from places, China included is really bad, heroin, meth
Etc. is killing people or fucking up lives of Just not the people who are addicted but
Family friends etc.
Cut spending? We could only hope ,
Line item veto and Congressional term limits might help, pork loaded Bill's all that is probably a pipe dream.
Trump has done more deregulation than you have to Google to get the entire list.
Your first item I'm not sure how to address, If you mean a balanced budget, and quit raising the debt ceiling, I'm all good with that but another probably not to happen,.
If Trump can help bring the economy back to previous levels (pre-covid) so we can offset the the crazy ass spending habits of federal and state.
Good luck with your search for that elusive candidate(s) you probably have better luck finding Bigfoot.
The war on terrorism and the war on drugs are two of the most destructive policies in history and are responsible for more death, destruction, and gov overreach than is imaginable
The war on terrorism started as a policy to go after ~400 “freedom fighters”(that we armed, trained, & funded) and its grown into tens of thousands of people that are willing to do some of the most horrifying shit to try to get us to leave them the fuck alone. That area of the world, middle east, is a harsh and unforgiving landscape that makes harsh and unforgiving people. There will probably never be anything close to our way of life there and that’s ok. The best we should hope for, after we leave, is to open trade relations with them and reward anyone who is living as peacefully as they can with more business. Just like anyone who calls themselves a constitutionalist, they just want to be left the fuck alone and we should respect their wishes as sovereign human beings
The reason the war on drugs is so disastrous is because it provides exactly the opposite incentives to help anyone except politicians and their crony business buddies. Prohibition was fucking disastrous when it was only aimed at alcohol, what a shock that it’s a million times worse when
all drugs are targeted. You, or anyone else, have zero moral authority to tell anyone what they can and cannot ingest. The best you should hope for is being able to make people responsible for
violent crimes pay for their crimes. You don’t make someone rot in prison for life for a handful of mushrooms or a gram of coke that they were going to use to unwind from a shitty work week
It’s these two policies that are responsible for destroying so many lives and so much wealth it’s sickening. On top of that, both sides are responsible for the astronomical spending bills/bailouts that are somehow destroying more wealth for the people most at risk. What little money poor people earn is going to be obliterated in the form of taxes, direct or indirect, and/or inflation that will make their money worth less and less
So yes, I will be waiting for a long,
long time for a nominee that cares about the constitution in more than a window dressing sort of way. I could compromise my ideals a little bit if I could justify it but there is too much damage done already and from both sides for me to compromise any further.
And now that I’ve said that; I hope nobody thinks I’m trying to dissuade them from voting. If that is a choice you freely make, or even do while holding your nose, make your choice and don’t let anyone give you any shit about it(except maybe some shit from some good friends). I’m only explaining why I can’t bring myself to vote
