No one tells a conservative what to believe and I would suggest same for liberals. Everyone on all sides has their political beliefs based on their individual life experiences and beliefs.

I can speak for myself and my opinion why America is no longer great. This is what I feel is needed to get us back to being great again. Contrary to liberals, I feel America was great and was a resected world leader in the past, but our country no longer believes in itself.

1. The economy sucks. Biden's inflation since he took office is 17.4%. Wage growth is lagging behind inflation which is a recipe for disaster for the lower and middle class. "Since President Biden took office, prices have increased cumulatively by 17.4 percent, while hourly wages have increased only 13 percent.Sep 20, 2023"

2. Economy fix - Use our own natural resources for oil and natural gas. I am not a climate denier, but many are or feel Climate is nowhere close to being the #1 issue facing the US. Oil is used for gasoline and to heat homes, the US needs to be energy independent and never have to import oil as we do now under Biden. The imported oil is dirty oil and not climate friendly. Our energy produced is as clean or cleaner than anywhere in the world. Inflation sky rocketed the same time gasoline prices spiked due to poor policy by Biden. It impacts all of the distribution points causing huge spikes in pricing at restaurants, retail shops, internet purchases and so on.

3. Stronger Borders - we have borders for a reason and it is not acceptable to allow illegal immigrants to enter the country and stay while waiting for a hearing. Biden's illegal immigration enforcement will negatively impact us in ways we have not thought of the next few decades. Biden is heading towards allowing 8 million illegal immigrants into the US since he reversed the Trump policies. Huge mistake and we are more at risk physically and financially as a result.

4. Keep taxes low for the lower and middle class and for small business. Small businesses create the jobs, help them create more jobs. More jobs equal more tax dollars.
5. Less government - We need to eliminate  city, state and federal government. A dee dive is needed to eliminate entire departments lie the Department of Education, like abortion, send it back to the state level and let then determine best ways to educate students. Our budgets are full of wasteful and unneeded spending (pork by politicians), it has to stop. We need to eliminate lobbyists and prosecute politicians who are bought and aid for by Big Pharma for example. I also think the UN is a poor investment for the US, if President for a day I would tell the UN to take a hike and take our UN funding back to helping US citizens.

6. Foreign Affairs - Peace through strength. Trump is the only recent President to not enter a new war. It was not an accident. He took out ISIS and had the middle east calmed down, now the middle east is a dumpster fire and Biden's lack of respect is a major concern. No one wants World War 3, but his weakness as perceived by our major enemies is an issue.
7. Conservative judges who base decisions on the constitution as written.
8. Freedom of religion & freedom of free speech are both being attacked by the left. We have college campuses shutting down conservative free speech. We have AntiSemitism actions on college campuses being advocated by leadership leaving Jewish students with no safe space. Can someone tell me the how racism is any different from AntiSemitism?

9. Donald Trump

Everything above is a huge part of Trump's polices. Maybe now and you will understand MAGA republicans are not a cult, but share in the Donald Trump mantra of how to Make America Great Again.

So now I have educated you on my views as a MAGA republican who by the way would vote for any GOP nominee with these core values and goals.

Now your turn, please let me know what liberals value in a POTUS.

Wage growth has lagged behind inflation since the 80's.

We are currently more energy independent than ever before.

We are investing and capturing more people at the border than ever before.

The gop, the last time they had control, lowered taxes on the top 1% permanently and temporarily on everyone else.

Plenty of pork can be cut.  I suggest we NOT start by creating dumber citizens.

Trump did not start a war because he kissed the ass of every strong leader until "he was the apple of their eye".  They just spent his time golfing in office preparing to do what every they wanted...including Iran.

The constitution is meant to be interpreted as time passes.  Even the Founding Fathers said as much.  To think a bunch of men in 1776 knew everything and perfectly set up a piece of paper that should never be questioned is the kind of thinking that makes an elected politician believe the Bible should be the man law making source in this country.

You have freedom of religion and free speech.  What you want is to shut up anyone who disagrees with you and your religion.

P01135809 is a liar and a cheat.  He cares about the brand and making money and not one iota about you or me or this country.  But a cult member won't see that.

Given your post I go back to when I said the last thing we need to do is lower education standards in this country.
