Both the majpr political parties have embraced the political ideology of Alexander Hamiltion. In the early days of our country there was one party that wanted a federal form of government with limited powers delegated to the central government and another party wanted a large national government with unlimited powers.
Both the Republican and Democratic parties have abandoned the principles of individual liberty and personal responsibility. The truths that our founding fathers considered self evident no longer apply. Like the laws of gravity, natural rights can not be altered, amended or abolished.
Choosing a candidate representing either party is like choosing one form of cancer over another. The candidates are elected by the people, but they take their marching orders from the Wall Street bankers and corporations.

There is another perspective that I'd like the reader to consider.
What is the accurate political spectrum we are contending with? It is well detailed by Star Trek character Kling-on Scholar better known as W. Cleon Skousen in his infamous book entitled "The Five Thousand Year Leap."
Kling-On says the yardstick of Communism on the "Left" and Fascism on the "Right" is two sides of the same coin. No wonder why folks look on with a blank stare. Huhh? This doesn't apply to America. What is all this talk of the USSR and Hitler? Both have gone the way of the do do bird. So let me break it down.
Radical revolutionaries like Karl Marx, Lenin and Trsotsky would be the Communists; and military dictatorships like Gadaffi and So Damn Insane (Saddam Hussein) and of course "Adolf" would be the Fascists. Wonder why the media forces the narrative accusing President Trump as a Nazi? They want to bend your mind around a false narrative.
When government styles of the world are viewed historically, and this is what the great minds of our founders did, we see that there are two different ends of the spectrum; Tyranny and Anarchy. Simply put that means; Tyranny, as in “You will do what I say and act as I dictate” or "you vill be shot!, jailed or crucified by the media, or legislated to death". The other side of the spectrum is Anarchy, this is the "Occupy Wall Street" approach, the Cyber attackers or the "screw up the oppositions rally approach" sic. Trump rally's and create what Maxwell Smart was constantly fighting; that nasty organization called "Chaos"! But you'd have to be old enough to have seen the TV series Get Smart to appreciate this. Creating chaos is ultimately creating Anarchy and that is just as destructive to a civil society as is Tyranny (Global Government). Our founders set up the united States of America to be poised in the middle of these two extremes; based on order, free will, limited government and the rule of law.
Too sad we don't have honest intellectual discourse in our media these days. If we could have such a thing, we'd all rediscover how really smart and forward thinking our founding fathers were. Oh yeah, "White Privilege," I forgot. Bloody ignoramuses. (Oh did I say that?) Louis Pasteur was a great scientist. We all benefit from his studies on penicillin. I look at the quality of his character and the skill sets of his mind, not the color of his skin. Shouldn't that be true for George and Thomas? Not to mention the other 50 some odd framers of the Constitution who don't get noticed; who hailed from simple farmers to keen legal minds.
Anyway, back from Andromeda. Let's teach our kids civics that include authentic historical writings and dispense with the newfangled Comprehensive Sex Education which teaches perverted sexual preferences to our children from age 4 to the proposed new age of consent of 12; a program that specifically denounces any ability of a teacher to teach religious perspectives or moral codes and normal sexual mores. Comprehensive means complete, all, or almost all. These bills started by Planned Parenthood, blessed by the UN and UNESCO are now being deployed to a legislator near you and does not meet the definition of Comprehensive. Good for DeSantis, reintroducing Civic Education in Florida’s schools.
I agree with you. Anarchy, on the far right, is short lived, and leads right back to tyranny. People use the term "far right", when those of us who are conservative and believe the Constitution should be obeyed, are only somewhat right of center. As America has always been.
When I was a kid we had a cute saying: Heads I win, tails you lose. At that time we had no idea how that saying was actually being played out against us.
