My story
As a kid I supported Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. In 1992 I supported Bill Clinton because George HW Bush sucked. In 1996 I endorsed Bob Dole for President, in 2000 I supported Bill Bradley and when he dropped out I supported George W Bush. I was apolitical to politics in the 1980s and 1990s.
I became a Liberal Democrat in 2003 due to me turning against the Iraq War and becoming anti war and me seeing the Dixie Chicks being bullied for being anti war by warhawks like Denis Leary etc. For the rest of the 2000s I was anti war (which I still am today but for the reasons Mark Twain was against war not for the Lenin reasons I was against war then), hated George W Bush and his neocon Republican allies, supported John Kerry and Barack Obama, had a lot of liberal views etc.
As a Liberal, in the 2000s, whenever a pastor or a conservative commentator came on TV and said something that went against my liberal beliefs, I would go nuts and throw my remote at the TV so to speak. So I would mostly find liberal 'safe spaces' to hear like minded liberal narratives like MSNBC (Keith Olbermann, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews), CNN, Democratic Underground etc. Despite this I still wasn't overtly political in the 2000s.
But throughout the 2010s I moved more and more auth left and Democratic Libertarian to where I am now (due to seeing how socially fascist and neoliberal/bourgeois the liberals became, including with things like Identity Politics, focusing on the wrong things etc). Which lead to me supporting Tankies and supporting the Democrat Party Libertarianism.

I liked that Donald Trump was anti imperialist and that he challenged the neolib/neocon agenda. I like how funny and honest he was. I like Donald Trump because he united/unites the working class from MAGA to Communism, he destroys the corporate class and ogliarchy. Trump is a unique treasure. But I am not (nor was I ever) a Donald Trump supporter. Orange man=BAD
I echo what Barack Obama said about conservative voters being misled by voting for Donald Trump.
I want to help Donald Trump supporters and other far righters , as I point out here: https://myprogxview2x.blogspot.com/2022/04/polemic-voting-elections.html
I don't care about politics. I am apolitical. I have no perceivable political principles whatsoever. In the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s (mostly) and 2010s (mostly) I stayed away from politics and I believe that apoliticalness I had back then is a model for all political people and the best path forward for society. But since I got into political video games I decided to expand that into real life political 'games'.
I prefer a full anarchism and a self governing society with no government (or at worst a Night Watchmen state like the UK in the 19th century), radical localism, Isolationism and people follwing the two rules (for hardened heart non Judeo Christians have them replace God with humanity, whatever God they serve, higher power, or whatever motivates them to live secular lives that are Christian like).
If I sound too conservative on some issues, its because I am a Contrarian and being Contrarian is way more fun than being mainstream. I love taking the opposite side of some mainstream ’liberal’ , Neocon and ‘progressive’ political views. Being different is truly liberating. I am also mostly a ‘Tankie’ (auth left), so we Tankies tend to have ‘conservative’ type views for left wing reasons or to help create Marxist Leninist or Socialist revolutions in countries without making marginalized groups in those countries become targets of hate by the counter revolutionaries (Do no harm principal on steroids)
Take every thing I write in this blog with a grain of salt. Also anything I write has a chance to be tongue and cheek and irony.
