Yes, I would say this forum has proven to be largely in favor of nativism and protectionism rather than limited government. I wouldn't call them idiots, though. They're entitled to that opinion. Not to mention they favor rhetoric over ideas. The main reason I am a big Paul Ryan fan, aside from him having the stones to take a stand against Trump despite the political risk, is he is an ideas guy. I love that. That needs to be the future of the Republican party. That appeals to young people. Not let's build a wall and create this mythical fair trade.

TB: many of us on here are fiscal conservatives - we believe this country should not spend more than it has much less go into debt. I am an independent but I do not have a liberal bone in my body and most of that has to do with too much big government and too much spending. Politics has ruined this country but if we could simply stay out of debt and maintain a dominant military the rest can fall into place. Lobbying has ruined our government. I am anti Hillary but her $365,000 she got for speeches to Goldman Sachs legally do not fall into the lobbying category but it is obvious what that was all about. We need to take care of the jobless and those on welfare but we should not promote those things much less use those people as potential votes by promising them more for doing less. Welcome to the forum and you can come to your own conclusions about our posters after observing us over a period of time.
"[We should] apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring." "Plan for peace" from Birth control review (April 1932, pp. 107-108)
"Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race." "Women, Morality, and Birth Control." New York: New York Publishing Company,1922. pp.12
"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." Margaret Sanger's December 19,1939 letter to Dr. Clarance Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Mass.
Parties aren't monolithic nor are they static, sure there is some nationalism/protectionism vs libertarianism in there, definitely competing wings. Trump has obviously done some rebranding, that is what he does, he brands.
The bigger difference is aspiration vs resentment. I always felt this way but probably never made the connection or put it into words.
Here is a good piece on it...

Kindof a drag, but who gives a shit? I'm gonna make so much bread on these "Pride comes before the wall t-shirts", does anyone know anything about targeted marketing to the Hispanic community? PM me if you want a shirt.
