Tards that are learning. Slowly. Painfully so. But they are

I was one of them.

Jumped ship from Digg into Reddit, even though I thought Reddit was ugly in interface and more rude in comments, I grew to love the niche communities. Then came Ron Paul, which awakened my passion for politics, but it wasn't until Trump that the embers became a forest fire.

Reddit was needed to awaken many pedes like me. And while I no longer visit anything outside of gun related subs, and sometimes venture into MMA/boxing/BJJ, I've lost taste for my other favorites: movies became tainted with uncessary shots at Trump, football became well, football, and everything else just had this growing stain of hatred toward police, men, capitalism, and whites.

While I refuse to believe that's organic, I still just don't care enough to even venture over there anymore. Give me my gun deals, and leave me alone.

It ticks me off how Ron Paul was always marginalized by the mainstream GOP. He would attract thousands upon thousands of enthusiastic young voters to the GOP every election season and they’d chase them away with a stick.

Honestly, I'm a huge fan of Ron, but I am not a libertarian.

Trump is the best parts of Libertarianism for me: ending endless wars, more efficient government, more power to the state, stop abusing federal power, eliminate illegal entry, etc etc

As a student of history I still believe a strong military and a strong overseas presence is required for not just world safety, but OUR safety. Read "American Caesar" and you'll see how a limited power extension hamstrung the US pacific theater. Or Ceasar in general, lol, and it's importance in Roman longevity.

Might want to change up that wording. Was confusing at first until I realized you meant more powers to state government, rather than federal. State is a term often used to mean government in general, so it sounds like you're saying Trump is in favor of big, centralized government.

Ron being a gold bug is what turned me off of him. A president needs to have a good understanding of economy, Ron Paul didn't.

If Trump is a forest fire for the deep state, Ron Paul would have been all the worlds nuclear arsenal deployed at once. Had he achieved the nomination- he likely would have won. END THE FED!

They would have done the same to Trump except that the Hillary campaign sent the media its idea of a "pied piper strategy" where the media would promote the three "most unelectable" Republican candidates -- Carson, Cruz, and Trump.

Trump got a huge boost from that as the media suddenly focused on his campaign. Then the media found out they couldn't just turn on a dime and demonize him and make him lose. Oops.

If Hillary's team hadn't come up with that idea, we'd be suffering under President Pants-suit after Jeb! lost the election as planned.

Ron (P)eace Gold(Au) (L)ove there used to be a Ron Paul site that what sort of prepper centric but also had a lot of good discussion and was set up like reddit. I can’t remember the website address, though.

No , fuck reddit.

They have now locked this post on r/pics lol

Most subs are just left liberal cancer. Unless the mods are so based enough to create a RE sub and live under reddit admins constant threat of getting suspended

Remember, though, correct the record along with chinese click farms manipulating media and social sites.
