Solutions are not on the agenda
I was reading a couple of opinion columns in our little weekly local paper-- the one that's not online, where I used to write my Liberty Lines columns on occasion.
The two remaining opinion columnists are solidly "conservative".
Reading their columns, you'd think the only real problem with America is that "liberals" exist.
They are quick to list their gripes, and blame them all on "liberal" politicians (or those they've influenced). It all because "we" aren't tough enough on "crime". They can't see that "their side" is just as bad for liberty.
They beat around the bush when discussing their problems with government, but they avoid the core issues and avoid mentioning anything like an actual solution beyond more government violence. Why? Because you can't solve problems caused by too much politics by bringing in more politics. Especially not with more authoritarian politics. And they apparently love politics as long as "their side" has the upper hand. They don't want to stop using the political means against others. Solving problems is less important.
So they'll never do anything other than carefully avoid a solution to the things they complain about. And continue to hallucinate that it's only "liberals" making the mess. If only everyone would lick the boots of the police and the military, enforce all the right "laws", go to the right kind of church, never use any intoxicants that are "illegal", etc., America would be all better again. A nice, quiet, police state where they get the kind of government over others that they like, while their enemies plot how to turn it against them in the future.
They plow around the stump in their field, even as it grows larger, because to get rid of it entirely would take away their option to use it against someone else, later. And sticking it to the "liberals" is more important to them than is living in liberty.

You never asked for a solution from the government, its mean while your problems and you have to solve it, if the government is in any crisis you have to pay more tax or donation or law enforcement should be make it their way. And the reason your forbidden to keep any arms most probably gun.
Liberals in the classical sense are not the issue, it's the pro-government loving radicals both on the left and the right. We need more libertarians in office, not authoritarians. The slow transition to more liberty is better than no transition.
Yes, government-supremacists are the problem. But consistent libertarians aren't going to get into office, for a multitude of reasons. It's best to try another path.
making it worse is though 🤣 best yet is when it is done in the name of liberty smh
