Trump is a lifelong limousine liberal who did nothing to shrink the federal government

The progressive left pushed the Democratic Party so far extreme that the Republican Party in 2024 is the Democratic Party of old. The Conservative Party of old is dead (and has been for some time) and actual small government conservatives have no home. For now this is true: They won. We lost.

Worse we’ve either accepted that fact or are willfully ignorant of it. Trump has convinced a bunch of people he’s some kind of small government conservative champion and his loyal followers parrot that narrative. The inability to question or discuss a politician’s stances or past record is championed by Trump and his followers.

Some of you are so giddy to vote for the arrogant jackass or so tired of fighting or so unwilling to fight you just slump to the booth and vote for the lesser of two evils rather than fight for what you know is good and right. And so every day we lose more ground and sacrifice more of our principles.

This country was founded on the principles of a limited federal government, an engaged and educated voting populace, and the willingness to fight for those things. We have lost the will to fight and accepted the destruction of those founding principles as a part of everyday life. It’s sad.

We need a party for those of us who are small government conservatives. And those of you who say “I could never support a third party because you’re just giving our opposing party a win” wake up. They’ve already won. Either fight back or sit down, shut up, and take orders from your authoritarian overlords.
