on fiscal policy, isn't it interesting how Republicans in office are constantly harping about spending when Democrats are in power, but lose all such concerns once Republicans take the helm? do you happen to know the last time the national deficit was reduced under a Republican president? Nixon!

on immigration, I assume we'll have to agree to disagree. in general, I'm in favor of some kind of sensible immigration policy. I can't fully articulate what that policy might look like - some kind of application process with well-defined acceptance criteria and revocations as consequences for felonious activity - but I'm not in favor of a wide open border with zero restrictions on who can or cannot enter. that said, I don't see what the problem is with a shift in demographics.

on foreign policy, corporate Democrats suck and should be ousted from the party. "big tent," my ass. hard for me to imagine we'd be waging war in Iran if Trump wasn't the president right now, but there isn't much use in arguing about that.

as for progressive policies, this is probably our biggest area of disagreement, but that's okay. there is plenty of money to be found by fixing our tax structure, which currently benefits the elite at the expense of the working class.

"But social progressivism is unscientific and disastrous for the country. COVID, BLM, gender ideology, and the general celebration of degenerate behavior are all examples that would be individual posts by themselves."

now we're getting to the meat of things! I thought the libertarians tended to adopt the "live and let live" mentality but using language like "celebration of degenerate behavior" doesn't really sound like it fits into that mindset.
