Republicans and Democrats alike talk about aspects of freedom as though they support liberty, but act like petty tyrants.

What are "conservative principles," though? It seems like the politicians think it means conserving and consolidating power for themselves, regardless of party. There was no pushback to Trump's extralegal redefinition of bump stocks as "machine guns." People seem to think Trump's belligerent tweets and speeches are "strong and courageous," not borderline impeachable offenses. It looks like "fiscal conservatism" Republicans have become as worthless under Trump as the anti-war left was under Obama.

Conservative principles are small gov, low taxes, adhering to tradition and a strong moral foundation. I think politics in general is about consolidating power to enact your agenda (which is why I want gov so small it wouldn’t even matter the agenda). Not a fan of the bump stock ban, happy it was never legislated into law though. I have zero issue with Trump being Trump as far as him tweeting. As far as increasing the deficit Trump gets an F. I voted for Trump mostly so he would lower taxes, mission accomplished on that front, everything else is gravy.

If conservative principles are small government and low taxes, they have failed. Even after Trump's tax cuts, we are still being extorted and regulated to an outrageous degree.
America wasn't built on tradition, it was built on radical change as the conservative monarchy was overthrown in favor of liberal independence. Tradition is not inherently wise and just. Monarchy, slavery, state religion, and other injustices were traditional. Now, the bipartisan expansion and consolidation of central government power is justified based on precedent and tradition, too.
I have a strong moral foundation. Government cannot. The incentives of political power are all immoral. This is why politicians lie, steal, and cheat at every turn. Governments necessarily operate through theft and murder. They are racketeers and mafias writ large. That is their inescapable nature.
What do we need a territorial monopoly government to do that cannot be done by other voluntary means? How is government immune to the waste and abuse inherent in every monopoly? How can a democratic republic actually confer authority from strangers to strangers over other strangers? This cannot be moral.
Believe me, I am no fan of the self-professed liberals of today either, but the conservative movement is all talk and no walk where it really counts.

I agree Republicans, for the most part, are a bunch of ineffectual pansies. So what do you propose anarcho-capitalism? Personally, I don't see Trump as a cure-all he was just the lesser of two evils. I can't even imagine if we had a president Hillary, it would be a nightmare.

The lesser of two evils is still evil, and the "lesser" part is always just conjecture in that case. If we had Hillary, maybe the Republicans would still be pretending to hold conservative principles. And I do favor market anarchism as a far better decentralized solution to government.

You do realize it would never work? Personally I could care less what you think, honestly you are kind of a blowhard. Who obviously sees himself more intelligent than he actually is. I'm bored of you, fuck off buddy!
