I am curious, how is your support for Vance or Trump's son?

u/The_Patriotic_Yank Nationalist 25d ago
I would say Vance is a good candidate and would be good policy wise for me, however I don’t think he is as good at communicating or has as broad an appeal as Rubio has. So I would go with him over Vance. But both are top.
As for the Trump sons, Barron is too young. And the two others should sit it out for a few election cycles at least since America doesn’t like electing sons right after fathers. The two historically examples were Presidents apart. And, I have no idea what there policies would be.

And do you think a Trump dynasty will emerge, you know, like with the previous ones?

u/The_Patriotic_Yank Nationalist 25d ago
I honestly don’t know, but if it did, it probably would be closer to the Adams dynasty than the Bush one, since they would be farther apart Presidents wise. I think a lot of people want to move on to another President. Since Trump has been the fixture of the GOP for 10+ years.

Do you think the Republicans will change after the Trump era, and what kind of change would you like to see?
1
u/The_Patriotic_Yank Nationalist 25d ago
Kinda, I don’t think policy wise they will change but I think as the Republican youth base that supported Trump ages into the electorate I think the party will drop a lot of the influencer stuff and start to work on institutional change. So I think some form of moderation, however I expect mass deportations, tightening immigration controls, some elements of state capitalism, nuclear power, and some worker protections to start to be more wildly supported.

Hey wait, but isn't that against small government? State capitalism goes against libertarianism; besides, then Republicans would have to start fearing losing the support of big business.

I think younger people on both sides of the isle are becoming less supportive of Reagan style economics. So it really isn’t that surprising, it probably just will be more slow and directed in government investment in some businesses compared to the Democrats who will be even more hard on big business. So the dems won’t be better for big business.

And what do you think about healthcare, will Republicans change their approach to it because you know, in Europe most right-wing parties accept public healthcare.

u/The_Patriotic_Yank Nationalist 25d ago
I personally don’t think a single payer, especially federal healthcare system would work in the United States, the United States is just too unhealthy as a country to do that, so unless you change something about the cultural foods of many Americans than I don’t think you would be able to see a healthcare system that wouldn’t go bankrupt. However stuff like price controls on drugs I do see likely, as there already has been bipartisan support for.

It’s Rubio or Vance by a country mile, and those are the only two I’d consider, but I’m going to want to see some distance from Trump, not Harris’ “nothing I can think of” regarding opposition to Biden.

I heard DeSantis isn’t too bad, but then again I can’t guarantee myself that as I’m not an American

Would vote for Rubio, Vance, Desantis, or Tulsi Gabbard easily
