But you said I was “most open and conscious statist on the board”.
I’ve been arguing with libertarians (and especially anarcho-capitalists) since the mid-90s and I’ve embraced the statist label and worked towards developing a political philosophy that justifies big government. I may have a tendency to go overboard, but I’m not going to be happy with any candidate who I think is enabling libertarian talking points. I consider the libertarian wing of the Republican Party to be much more corrosive to our society than the religious conservative wing.
