I prefer to limit their demise to themselves as much as possible. I can't help it, it must be the tinch of Christian in me.

I feel no threat from the Blues.  The faster they drive their clown car off a cliff the better.  But then again I'm not remotely a Christian.

No surprise. You went from  Stalin to Trump.  I have only gone from Hubert Humphrey to Barack Obama.

I think he only moved from Bernie to Trump.

As far as electoral politics in the US are concerned, yes.  And I mainly supported Bernie in that he wasn't HRC, not because he actually brought anything useful to the table.

I've gone further to the point of rejecting planned economics (see F. A. Hayek) and embracing an over arching libertarian-ism.  Though I think there is room for a National Capitalism to arise.  International Capitalism will only result in a race to the bottom.

After all if humans are fallible creatures prone to corruption.  And we assume that power has a tendency to corrupt these fallible creatures then it seems prudent to defuse power as broadly as possible.
