Does the USA need a "Strongman"?

[Dargil]

The USA has become a feeding frenzy for those out only for their own gain and not the interests of ordinary citizens. Yes, I'm conservative. No, I'm not thinking about Trump. But someone like Jim Jordan with a heart and a brain might be good. We need a ream of Executive Orders to stop all this crap that is dismembering the country before it's completely gone. A look at history says that most empires (we are one) self destruct in 200-250 years. We are on schedule.

[Soteris]

Even the thought of a country needing a "strong man" is a terrifying thought. That means your country is far more gone than you might think, because strongmen leadership is pushed by authoritarians. It is the step before democracies dies. If you feel that you need a strongman, then I suggest you push that idea out of your mind as quickly as you can or you will suffer the consequences and then you should start to soul search for where that thought even came from.

Man can only do so much. Spiritual and Moral Biblical revival is only answer.

[Dargil]

But that spiritual revival can be revelated and produce recognize good men and women. I think Jim Jordan is one. Why I mentioned him.
Lincoln was a failed anti-civil rights (!) lawyer who defended planters recovering runaway slaves. But G0d said to Old Abe: "It's your time".

Russia has a strongman. He spent 20 years representing the intrests of Russian Oligarchs and pretending Russia was strong but he weakened Russia so badly they are looking like weak in Ukraine

[Dargil]

But then there was Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia, who kept the Russians out. It can go both ways

[Opinion Owner]

And how did that work out for Yugoslavia come the 90s? Assad kept the Americans out...

[Dargil]

It worked out that Tito died in 1980. Look at how good America was under Trump. Now look at under Biden.

No what we need is healthcare, better infrastructure, laws to prevent corruption, and for everyone to have the right to kick Ted Cruz in the dick because fuck Ted Cruz

[Dargil]

"No what we need is healthcare, better infrastructure"
Perhaps, but who pays for it? "The Rich"?
" laws to prevent corruption"
Laws don't prevent corruption. We have plenty. Enforcement is needed.
"everyone to have the right to kick Ted Cruz in the dick because fuck Ted Cruz"
I know! How about "everyone to have the right to kick you in the dick because fuck you?

[call_me_scar]

Yes the rich should pay for it as a dentist making 180k or 130k or something like that I forget the exact number is getting taxed the same as someone making 5 million a year. Other 1st world countries have a medicare for all systems we are behind man.
I don't know what your smoking to think we have plenty of enforcement laws to stop corruption but I'd love to take a puff to be that ignorant over the state of our country have u ever heard of dark money? Or are u the type of person that thinks "oh bad people are gonna do it anyways so might as well keep it legal".
The Ted Cruz part was a joke besides I thought a lot of u conservatives didn't like that cuck either

[Dargil]

The rich could pay for daily operation of the USA for a few days. Then they are broke.
I don't want to kiss Cruz on the lips but that does not justify assaulting him.
I smoke turkey, ribs and beef. Does that count?

Once again we are the ONLY first world country without these and last I checked Sweden isn't a broken down country, hell I know some coworkers who go down to Mexico for their insulin we are being price gouged dude.
The way I see it is if a politician's corruption leads to the death of others then he's no better than a murderer and make no mistake being corrupt while in a position of power does lead to the death and hardship of others just look at our war on drugs how many people have been smoking a joint minding their own business when a cop arrested them so the prison industrial complex can make an extra buck.
No but id take some ribs with a side of asparagus

We do need strong leadership in America. Leadership that will put America first. I think Jim Jordan has a great career in front of him too.
