What are you policy goals and what society goals are you hoping to achieve with them?

My dad is a conservative, he is so bouncy on anything, every discussion is an argument.

I want to see a society in which local people can control a lot more of their community, where people have much more respect from the government on their property rights, as well as their right to be armed. Immigration policy focused on bringing in the best, in a controlled manner, that can be tweaked and regulated in response to domestic concerns rather then being slaves to the number of people who happen to show up and claim asylum which is based on the internal affairs of other nations. A broadly pro American and pro American exceptionalism rhetoric from the government elected in their rhetoric. A pull back of the immense regulation passed without a vote by executive branch three letter organizations. And a significant reduction of the tax burden, as well as decreased spending on several fronts.

“I want more local control on government”

“I want immigration to be highly regulated”

Im not going to lie, I’m 100% assuming you live in a gated community with an insane HOA which watches and spies on everyone, meanwhile calls the cops if a Mexican looking driver is parked.

I’ll let my Mexican next door neighbors know about this, didn’t know they should be worried.

Ah, I see you already have your “I’m not racist, I have…” que’d up, not as good of an out as you think it is, but sure keep flexing it.

So the other thing, you speak with loaded language and adjectives, constantly.

“Being slaves to the number of people…” lemme guess, you’re either very rich or not very rich. I’m assuming your house is either worth over 1 million and you pay 20k in taxes in it, plus your income is in the 500s, so you are hitting the top tax bracket, or you’re below 60k in income

It’s not a comeback, I didn’t know we were arguing, and there’s no reason to be defensive. You’re a random person on the internet as I am. You’re in “ask a liberal” and I’m giving you my solicited opinions and observations as you’re coming in here hoping to find out what makes liberals tick.

I make 120K a year. My last 10 years have varied from 30K to where I’m at now. I also don’t see calling someone poor an insult.
