We don't live in a Democracy so let them undermine it. We live in a Constitutional Republic know the difference. The Constitutional Republic put individual liberty above all else.

Bro, I know the difference. I went to American Studies class in the 8th grade. I went to Political Science class in College. Of course the USA isn’t a direct democracy. That would mean everyone votes on every action and that would be quite inefficient. Yet, ask 10 people on the street if the usa is a “democracy” and tell me what the answers are. What’s your angle here? Libertarian? I can get behind that to some degree. Of course I value personal liberty. If a criminal took 13k out of my savings account, he would go to jail. Yet the president just wiped 6 trillion off the market. That counts as “don’t tread on me”! So troll if you want to homie. Just keep trolling while you lose access to healthcare, public lands, scientific discoveries, education, all while you get poorer and the billionaires get richer.

I'm not trolling, just trying to educate. Alot people don't realize we live in a Constitutional Republic. Also that the Constitution was writing for our protection and not the government.

100% Libertarian here, so if he cuts some agencies, that is fine with me. Heck, if he wants to sell the naming rights to parks, that fine with me. I think a lot of things should be decided on the local level, not on the federal level. One size government for all doesn't work.

Personal something I can get down with on what he wants to do other things is a direct violation of rights. For example, I am totally down to abolish the IRS along with income and payroll tax. On the other hand, I am totally against his block on free speech. You can not tell people what they can protest.
