Even if some of the things he says are dumb or exaggerated, he still makes more sense than the "progressive" delusion that we've been bombarded with for the last 5 years. And he's also pretty funny, so I consider him and

Funny. I'm on a personal journey to reduce self-doubt. Maybe there's a time and place for self-doubt, and some people certainly lack it severely, but my extreme levels of self-doubt have always stopped me from trying things and no

Is there some point at which people will start rejecting this arbitrary and excessive exercise of power? This sets a dangerous precedent for a country that until now we considered a liberal democracy with freedom and respect for individual
