I would vote for Hitler and Count Dracula if they came out and said they are going to expand the federal student loan programs or reduce higher education cost somehow you know something that actually benefits me. That is the difference between me and you. I actually want something for my vote. I will actually look at the issues that affect my life and the candidates position on those issues. I am not just going to vote for a swell guy or against a bitch. I have actual concerns about real issues vs getting caught up in the bullshit rhetoric and lies they both spout.
I agree that we need to focus on what matters here at home but sending hundreds of billions to Ukraine DEFINITELY affects us - throwing money at Israel DEFINITELY affects us. And expanding federal student loans is BY FAR THE WORST IDEA you stated. Education cost has exploded BECAUSE of the federal student loans. This isn’t opinion - every financial guru worth a damn states this. It is late and I also don’t have the ability to explain it properly- but OMR if you read this and agree (or disagree) please explain this. Jordan Peterson is starting a university that will run about $2,000 for a 4 year degree - and he will be paying professors VERY well. I have had some clients, friends (more like acquaintances ) at very high levels in D1 major universities (Tulane - LSU… etc..) and a few have enlightened me on the MEGA waste and overspending (billions literally)
To your general point I 100% think focusing on dumbass things like gay marriage is nonsense. But trans in female sports, trans people indoctrinating children etc…
I’m against abortion - know a woman who is alive as a result of a failed abortion and is now a surgeon. BUT - SCOTUS did exactly the right thing in making it a STATES issue.
If we could only get one concept at the federal level it would solve a majority of our problems. The Founding Fathers wanted MOST power to be a the most LOCAL level. As we expand out to the parish (county for most of you) - state - ultimately federal levels - powers should be lessened. The MAIN reason that the states “united” was a common defense and guarantee free flowing commerce. POTUS was never envisioned or intended to be “the most powerful man on the planet” but in 250 SHORT years we have managed to bastardize things to a level that would be unrecognizable to the FF.
Great thing is that because of the wisdom of those FF (many of which were VERY young (look it up quite a few signers were not old enough to even be potus - 35)
Because of their wisdom we have mechanism to get shit back on track.
Don’t be fooled - Trump is hated by the establishment because he is VERY hard to control. Could be be better?

Definitely - and hopefully a perfect patriot will come along, but not in a very long time have we had someone like DT.
