Why This Election Could Be the Most Important Since the US Civil War

Nobody, except for a few libertarians and conservatives, are countering the purposefully destructive ideas AOC represents. And they have a very limited audience and not much of a platform. Arguing for sound money and limited government makes them seem like Old Testament prophets. Collectivism and statism are overwhelming the values of individualism and liberty.
Itβs exactly the type of thing the Founders tried to guard against by restricting the vote to property owners over 21, going through the Electoral College. Now, welfare recipients who are only 18 can vote, and the Electoral College is toothless.
If you must have voting, it should only be for people 25 or over, who own a certain amount of property, so they have something to lose in the system. Most important, the government should have zero involvement in the economy.

Who was it in Atlas Shrugged who explained that laws are not intended to be enforced? Selective enforcement is a suppression tool.
eg. Fines, threat of jail for breaking hard-lockdown.
But no problem if part of a blm riot.
Or you canβt receive campaign money from foreigners by laundering it threw BLM.
The bastards cheat and cheat and cheat with no consequences. Heavy heavy fines and jail time to deter these criminal actions.
The last several election, we have seen what is really happening, there are more people in the cities that are dependent upon government, dependent upon all authority and as a result, have little authority themselves. That results into voting for more government instead of more freedom.
It's something to think about...
Trump is attempting to take down the corrupt deep state. All the while guys like Casey who portends to be anti-socialism and for individual rights fawn over the actress AOC and slam Trump.
