let's say I'm an ignoramus who doesn't know what Libertarians believe, set out your beliefs fully and I will tear to shreds every bit of hypocrisy and double-standards in it.
The Democrats goal is not big government. Democrats believe government is how we come together to solve our problems, and in many cases it’s the only institution that has that ability. If say everyone stops spending on the heels of an economic collapse, government is the only institution with the means and motivation to spend so we can mitigate the damage. When this is your view of government, naturally your policies will amount to a big government. But that is the effect, not the point.
Immigration is a complex issue, but most democrats don’t want less restrictions, we want humane ones.
Owning a firearm puts the safety of everyone around you subject to your ability to carry it responsibly
But beyond that, cancel culture is about holding people accountable for the pain that they’ve caused others. I personally think it’s gone way to far, but there is no inconsistency here.
So, democrats are willing to have big government in order to as you put it "mitigate the damage". What is your definition of damage? If your definition of damage is lost of life, then wouldn't the democrats be pro life as well?
Pretty much all the humane restrictions are already in existence. Democrats tend to want less restrictions on immigration.
So your saying the democrats are pro safety? If so, then with few exceptions, being pro choice and pro safety are contradictions.
If your an anti pain democrat, you ought to be against cancel culture because it produces more pain than it eliminates.
You don't believe in pure freedom like a Libertarian so please explain that inconsistency.
The abortion debate is about who has the greater right to a woman’s body, the child or the mother?
Pro gun safety is about recognizing that your right to a firearm increases the danger to those around you.
This is like arguing that criminals shouldn’t go to jail because the victim is already dead, so all it does is increase the pain.
Should Rosanne Barr have lost her entire show over one joke? No probably not, but it does set a tone that this kind of disrespect towards black people is unacceptable, that is a clear attempt to reduce pain.
