The amount of factually incorrect statements in this diatribe is why I typically just ignore you but I’m feelings saucy tonight and yore embarrassing our Founding Fathers so let’s set at least a few parts of this straight for the sake of America.
1- Populist, or populism, is politics that appeals to the common man. It has nothing to do with the branch or size of government one advocates for. If the common man wants big government/ high government intervention that can be just a populist as small government movements in other countries / areas. The nation typically defines the type of populism which is often why the populist movement in a country is a brand of national populism (as is the case with America 1st & Trump).
2- No I’m not calling Teddy a prog but it’s funny anybody would care to debate that point / label when The Founding Fathers were “progressive” by the standards of their time.
3- The Constitution was adopted and ratified because The Founding Fathers recognized The Articles of Confederation lacked sufficient powers for the federal government. The preamble to The Constitution litter Ali doesn’t say anything about limiting the federal government. The preamble does make several references to the collective of the American people and respecting their will for their posterity, common defense, and general welfare.
If yore going to suggest you know better than The Founding Fathers then at least do them the courtesy correctly referencing their history and the history of the leaders who followed them.
Ironic post is ironic.
Lmao this is a real beauty, befitting of the Louvre
Let's help our good friend America 1st out
If the American people want more centralization of power than teddy and Trump are populist
Progressivism is collectivist and favors central authority over individual sovereignty
I literalleee said the the preamble preambles the Constitution which proceeds to restrain federal power, in favor of individual sovereignty and state power
In hindsight, the federalists won out and created too strong of a central authority although the blame can be squarely laid upon a differential and gullible populace or the unavoidable, natural tendencies of successful republics
There is a fine line between progressivism and nationalism. There is recognition and want of national strength outside of progressivism
You, as a progressive, believe that robust central authority is best to optimize the general welfare
The true American, and anyone barely aware of human history knows that individual sovereignty and the family unit are superior as foundation for enviable societies/civilizations
You need to reevaluate yore approach; it's stale, rudimentary and self debasing*
