This is why supporting Ukraine makes sense. It costs us little, yet it drastically weakens a major adversary. Ukraine *buys* old weapons from us. Brave Ukrainians kill Russians, so *we* don’t have to. You’d be hard-pressed to find more BANG for our buck anywhere in government.
This is happening primarily because Trump made idiotic promises like lowering prices, which were entirely out of step with conservatism and impossible to follow through on. Then, everything he did from tariffs to the war contributed to yet higher prices.
The tragedy of the woke era is the abandonment of this universal ideal in favor of naive moral relativism. All people are created equal, but not all cultures are equal in respecting that fact. Liberals must defend their own values if liberty is to survive this illiberal moment.
I am not "America first"
I am "individuals first"
I am "liberty first"
Individuals should come ahead of the state, not the other way around.
America is a nation founded on the ideal (however imperfect in practice) that all individuals are born free.
America First at the very core is the worship of a state. By its very nature, it is authoritarian because it will prioritize the nation above the individual.
Libertarians should be weary of getting into bed with those populist-nationalists who after the midterms will have jumped off a sinking MAGA ship looking for any piece of driftwood to cling to as they grift. They have no principles and no guiding light other than power which they want to use against their supposed enemies.
Principles matter.
Liberty matters.
I am a Libertarian.
I reject the cult of the omnipotent state in all its collectivist forms.
If you feel so inclined, I encourage you to join @LPNational and help set the world free in our lifetime.

"Line go up" is the pejorative that saved a billion lives and enriched billions more. It's not simply correlation; it's causation. This is the graph the degrowthers want you to ignore.

The funniest thing to me about this is that all day long on X I hear what a horrible tragedy it is that western civilization is being assaulted by inferior immigrant cultures
And Chud culture just seems to be Cracker Barrel, Cheesecake Factory and Sydney Sweeney’s tits

With all the Temu scrambled eggs Donald nailed to the walls, the inside of the White House looks like the scene of a bulimic food fight at a breakfast buffet
The funniest thing about Cheesegate is that Trump voters assume anybody who makes fun of Trump’s decorating taste is also making fun of their own decorating taste. But last I checked, your average middle American home didn’t look like this.

The media elite think Trump & his voters are tacky and have no taste. I pointed it out & they went absolutely insane because on a deep level, they know what I said about them is true

One of the many ways the woke right is woke: they buy into the notion that a system can be deemed discriminatory simply because it doesn’t give the demographic outcomes they think would be fair. That’s exactly how affirmative action was defended.
Two parallel developments:
1) White representation fell in competitive schools after ending affirmative action.
2) Male representation at the workplace is falling as DEI practices dwindle.
And the cries of incels filled the air.
This was an entirely predictable outcome. Asians were highly discriminated against by AA. Mediocre whites, many suspected, actually benefited on balance. That was even preferred as one reason unis were reluctant to abandon the practice.
Americans support Ukraine. Only 3% support Russia. The problem is the president of the United States is part of that 3%.
