      The battle cry of conservatives everywhere: It’s too hard!

      Except if it involves oppressing minorities and women. Then it’s a moral imperative worth all the time and money you can shovel at it regardless of whether the desired outcome is realistic or not.

        Seriously, could the party of “small government” get out of my business, please?

            I just wish the push and pull of politics didn’t have to be played as a zero sum game. I wish someone could take the initiative and just…

            I think both parties in America sing pretty loud about “law and order.” I haven’t heard that cry particularly loudly from either side over the other. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone who claims to be a Democrat saying the end goal is “small government” but I have heard it from Republican voices.

            Honestly, I would really prefer if we were in a system that enabled more parties, so we didn’t have “parties” that did such contradictory things as the current ones…

              The GOP has historically been the party of law and order. Hence why they implied that blue lives matter more than black lives.

              Just like how one party impeached a president of the other for obstruction and abuse of power, and the other impeached a president for checks notes lying about a blowjob.
