I agree that killing off the Native Americans was evil. Killing off the Bison as a way to starve the Native Americans was evil. There were a lot of evil actions that happened over and over. As far as stealing those states from Mexico, I'm not sure it was an actual steal. There is a bit of gray in that history.Nodack wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 11:36 amI question the governments actions sometimes. Our government has done a lot of evil things since our beginnings. We are a government made up of it’s people and it’s people have done evil things representing our government. Killing off the Indians to make room for the new America was evil. Stealing Texas, NM, AZ and California from Mexico was evil. There are many more instances. We can say the government is evil and want to end it but it comes down to WE are the government and if we elected the people who did those things who had the blessings of their constituents most of the time.
You'll have to be specific on each policy that you are talking about, and we can reasonably talk and discuss each of them. Who knows, I might agree with you on some of the specifics. To do overarching condemnation on everything, is much harder for me to agree with. If I saw none of it, we should talk about each of those things. If you think he was lying every time, it's hard to argue with that, since it's a little too vague. Give me specifics and I'll either agree or give you my reasons that I think that's not true.Nodack wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 11:36 amWho doesn’t? Trump and his government did exactly what you are talking about imo and I don’t think you had a problem with it. Trumps government scares the crap out of me. It represents the end of America if he was allowed to continue. You as a Republican of course saw none of that. Trump was the good guy and telling the truth and everyone else was lying.I'd rather have less corrupt government. I'd rather better people acting like civil servants, instead of thinking the citizens are their subjects. I'd rather have unelected officials removed from directing policy and government and manipulating outcomes to their own nefarious means.
Yes, smaller government, less centralized. I have no problem criticizing Reps for not having a good plan on Healthcare. I will criticize Obamacare for causing HUGE inflation on everyone's healthcare costs. Before Obamacare, I was paying about $250 in premiums per month, and I had low deductibles with good selection of Drs. Now? I can't even afford to put my family on my plan at work. That's ridiculous. I would be paying over $15K for Health Insurance before they even attempt to pay 80% of a bill. I know Indy is going to come on here caping for healthcare attacking my information on this, but it's entirely true.Nodack wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 11:36 amThe government made up of Americans who we vote for. Smaller government. Bigger government. I just want a government that works for the people and not whoever donates the most money to their elections. I don’t believe in Republicans. They have no plans for anything. Our debt? No plan, just blame Dems. Healthcare? No plan, just blame Dems. Infrastructure? No plan, just blame Dems. Cold weather shut down Texas? No plan, blame Dems. Covid ravishing the world? No plan, blame Dems.
Infrastructure, there was a plan by Trump, but it was blocked. Cold weather in Texas? That's on Abbott and his BS. Covid? You got to be kidding. Did you not get a vaccine that you trust completely? Did Trump not send the NG to NYC to help with the overrun hospitals? Including hospital ships? Did they not impose travel restrictions, that were then called xenophobic? Come on, man. Be a little reasonable. BTW, you are all over the place, and each of these things are much larger subjects to themselves. Should I have cheered for the governors of NY, NJ, MI, PA, and CA for locking their states down, and forcing covid positive patients back into nursing homes of the most vulnerable? Hell No. I think they should be arrested for pushing that kind of incompetence, as that's knowingly manslaughter.
