Im tired of all the politics. It keeps encroaching on our space. Im tired of it.
Over the years, politics have become increasingly more polarized, to the point that each side can be viewed as radical without trouble. We each have views on the radical (pick your side)
Left: When you think radical left, there’s a good chance you think of transgender-tattooed-dyed hair… creatures(Im not sure if they can be classified as human anymore). Right? Sure, these exist. I don’t deny it.
But, I know people on the left that are completely different. They are civilized people, and although they may have some liberal ideas, I don’t mind being friends with them. They simply believe: Change, and the thoughts of individuals, are more important than held-traditions. Nothing inherently wrong with that, I would say? I disagree with it, but I don’t find it “wrong”
And then the radical conservative: MAGA trump lovers, I’m sure you have an image.
But there is a normal conservatism. People who believe we must uphold tradition, and at the very least be weary of change, not to go too fast. I know people like this.
Of course, there is a spectrum with all of this. But its not a line. Its like a grid. And this is called the political compass. I won’t go to much detail on this point as its not my main topic.
This brings me to the purpose of this:
I think that, with the volatility of the US political system, there is now an opportunity for a different party to rise up and win the 2028 election. At the latest, at least. I honestly don’t know how long Trump will last as president, to be honest. He is getting too old.
What are people’s thoughts on this? And I think we should (ironically) discuss OUR INDIVIDUAL political beliefs. Not the labels society gives them, but the beliefs themselves.
Il go first:
We need to focus on saving the environment. It is REALLY not great. I disagree on Trump’s notion of “Drill baby drill”. But also, we need to stop the big businesses from putting the panels on open fields. Put them on the big building in the cities, lots of rooftops.
We need to tax the rich a bit more, or at the very least stop them from cheating their way out of taxes (some sort of investment thing they do, or something that I’ve heard). I have nothing wrong with there being people who are quite wealthy, but there should be some sort of regulation with it. I think society NEEDS to have some economic diversity, and the ability for people to own their own money and property, but there should be something in place the bring the social classes closer together (Bring the poor people up to a middle class).
We need to limit immigration, at least for now. And we need to get the Spanish people who are undocumented either deported, if they have been found dangerous/criminally active, or given the opportunity to become citizens. I don’t mind if we have Spanish people here, they have some great food, at minimum. There is just too many Spanish people that are “gangstery”.
We need to adjust the welfare system. Its too easy to take advantage of it. I think it is a very good thing to have, I mean, retirement sounds great, and medicare Medicaid etc. Food stamps though, something needs to be adjusted. It seems like people are taking advantage of it. Its useful, but, its something worth being discussed (And I don’t know much about it other than the government gives you food stamps if you fit certain criteria)
We need to clean up the cities. I don’t know how this will be done, whether by boosting peoples morale, or paying them, or some incentive anyway, but somehow we need to clean the cities up. Reading PA, y’all. If any of yous have seen it (or the part I know), it can look SO BEAUTIFUL. But its filthy and there are too many cars
On the matter of Reading, and cities in general, I think we should manage the whole renting of houses. No issue in the concept, just in some places (Like Reading), its executed poorly. One building has multiple tenants, which each have atleast a car, when it should be one tenant/family per house, with 1 maybe 2 cars, max.
Prices have increased also. I think a fix for this is backing the dollar by either Gold, or Silver, or something tangible. Its not backed by anything except the word that its worth something. My personal pick would be silver, because I like it, and its much cheaper per unit than gold, but I don’t know much so don’t take much heed to that word.
We should work on getting jobs back to America. Trump is, well, atleast trying to do this with tariffs. I see his logic, and it would be great if it actually worked, but I don’t know if it will or not. The rust belt of America would see much growth if the steel industry returned. And with these jobs, they should be well paying. I don’t like the notion of low paying blue collar jobs. They are the foundation of everything else, and without them, there wouldn’t be any higher jobs (for the most part).
On taxes again; They are necessary, for sure, but it shouldn’t be a ton to pay. We need them of course, to fund government programs, and paving the roads, and whatnot. The money needs to be managed though. For sure.
This is all I will write for now. Opinions? Lets keep this civilized, no slurs, etc etc.
(Oh and keep in mind, I am 15, so, pardon my lack of knowledge on certain things)
