    What do you mean "nothing specific"?

    I said I am center-left economically. This means I believe in better regulation of business, more responsible (i.e. higher and more progressive) taxes, more infrastructure spending, social programs like public healthcare, and so on.

    I said I am socially conservative. This means I am against "gay marriage," against any special protections or benefits for the non-gender-conforming, and against any normalization of any of that mularkey in schools. Homosexuality and transgenderism are behaviors, not identities, and I want my representatives to share that view.

    I further believe in strong policing and unapologetic incarceration of those who commit crimes against person or property- including tresspassers. To that last point, I want my representatives to give NO mind to the interests of non-citizens. In fact, "America First" ought to be constitutionally enshrined as a legal requirement for anything undertaken by an elected official.

    I think that's all pretty specific, and in keeping with my attempt to describe my beliefs more succinctly. You wanted more detail, fine, but don't pretend I'm just some knuckle-dragger who's too racist for the GOP.

    That's all leftist. The only difference between you and "the left" is being on opposite sides of the fence on social issues, which totally aren't just stupid diversions from the real issues. And you're not as focused on race as they are, which is an improvement.

    Well, there's no political party that approximates my views. What I want is a nationalist, populist movement. Call it what you want, but I find the "alt right" comes closer to that than any other identifiable group.

    And social issues aren't a "stupid diversion" from anything. No one with children could ever believe that.

    Yes they are. The plan is to keep people busy with the culture wars so they don't have time to see what the elites are doing. Which is concentrate absurd amounts of power for themselves.
