  1. I would walk on broken glass to vote for Senator Cotton should he run for president.

  2.  @MichaelHartle-l7z  If Cotton isn't a conservative, then there is no such thing as a conservative.

  3.  @1ronin907  It is in our interest to live in a stable world, and not let bad actors like China, Russia, North Korea and Iran throw their weight around. In the 1930s, the civilized world was so appalled by the fresh memory of the mass destruction of The Great War that most people's instincts were to withdraw inward from the global scene. Winston Churchill understood the danger posed by Germany, but the masses were so desperate to avoid another war that they attempted to buy peace at any cost, including ceding the Sudetenland to Germany. It backfired terribly, of course: Feeding the shark didn't satisfy the shark, it fed its appetite for more. The result was a global war which made the first one look small by comparison. The Democrats didn't learn that lesson all too well. In the 1970s and 1980s, seeking to appease the Soviet Union as the Evil Empire expanded into unwilling target countries, the left tried to make nice with the Soviets. Thankfully, Ronald Reagan took a hard stance and, together with help from Pope John Paul II and others, helped save the free world. It is unfortunate that there are now hard leftists such as Tucker Carlson masquerading as conservatives and pushing Bernie Sanders's old 1980s' approach (in Tucker's case, lining up with Bernie not only in regards to foreign policy and "Russia First", but also in domestic policy as well, favoring heavy government intervention in the economy). That leftist approach is a proven failure. The three-step conservative stool that Ronald Reagan made famous included a muscular foreign policy, one that told the bad guys to not even think of starting up with us. The Reagan approach saved the free world in his time; the fact that other countries benefited should not make anyone forget how much it turned us around, saving the United States from the malaise into which Jimmy Carter's disastrous policies had placed us. Right now, thanks to some dreadful policy positions enacted by Joe Biden and supported by the likes of Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens, the US looks incredibly weak. Tinpot dictators like those in Afghanistan, Russia and Iran laugh in our faces; Biden's response is to provide them with money and/or arms with which to even further target Americans with deadly attacks. For those who claim that those awful policy prescriptions are Trumpian and "America First"? No, they are not, not in the least, not even close. Trump is proud that he started no wars; let us not forget that he did so by using American strength to intimidate the malevolent characters around the world into piping down and staying in their respective lanes. As to "America First"? American weakness is not "America First"; it is far closer to "America Last". Do you feel safer now with Joe Biden in office than you did while Donald Trump occupied the Oval Office? I sure don't. Every time you hear a supposed "conservative" saying they want to reign in the military and use that money instead on domestic (read: welfare) spending, close your eyes and imagine it is 1979. Because those faux "conservatives" are pushing policies championed by Jimmy Carter, Bernie Sanders, and the rest of the far left, policies that came all too close to leaving our country in ruins.
