    I've been talking about politics so much on other forums, so I decided to just join a political forum. So I'm happy to be here =P

    My political views mostly advocate freedom, liberty, and anti-violence.

    I've never cared about politics for the majority of my life. It was only when Donald Trump became president that I became interested in what was going on.

    Being on forums definitely steered me (inexorably) toward politics. Didn't give it too much thought before then. Turns out that is where the action is, discussion and debate-wise! And hey, it's kind of a big deal, right? Impacts us all in some way.

    Welcome and enjoy.

    Enjoy but be warned, freedom, liberty, and anti-violence have unique meaning for many who play here.

    True, I guess a better term to explain my views would be libertarian or a supporter of the American constitution.

    Libertarian also has many definitions and apparently the Constitution is mostly mere suggestion to Trumpists.

    Well, whatever I may identify as.. I try to stay away from labels because no one agrees or sees everything exactly the same.

    Could say that about Obamaists and Bushists.

    Snowden can prove it to you.

    Are you being serious? I've never met someone with these views before, so I'm a bit skeptical.

    That is good. I like being exposed to new ideas and views.

    Nuked your 401K? Could you talk about that?
