I don't think I've ever really been a conservative. I went through an identity crisis for several years.

I had a problem with the Democrat's lack of fiscal responsibility, woke nonsense and ridiculous immigration policies; the Republican's social conservatism, war mongering and kissing the Chamber of Commerce's ass; and the Libertarian's ridiculous free market absolutism devoid of socioeconomic realities.

Then Trump came into the picture and put the pieces of the puzzle together for me. I am a populist and a nationalist. That's essentially what "Trumpism" and "America First" are and how they are branded.
